Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the sliced chicken breast and shrimp to the wok. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and the shrimp turns pink, about 3-4 minutes.
- Push the cooked chicken and shrimp to one side of the wok, and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked.
- Add the cooked yellow noodles, shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour this sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well-coated and flavors are combined.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sliced red chili if desired.
Tips
- For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and a dash of sesame oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to customize the dish by adding your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or snap peas, for extra crunch.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, simply omit the chicken and shrimp, and substitute with tofu or tempeh.
