Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.

In the same wok, heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the sliced chicken and shrimp. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and the shrimp turn pink. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir-fry the minced garlic and sliced shallots until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the julienned carrot, shredded green cabbage, and bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken, shrimp, and scrambled eggs to the wok. Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix kecap manis, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili sauce (if using). Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through and well combined.
