Step 1

Soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for 10 minutes until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Beat the eggs in a small bowl and add a pinch of salt.

Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs to make an omelet. Once cooked, remove from the wok and cut into thin strips. Set aside.

In the same wok, add the julienned carrot, shredded cabbage, and a dash of salt. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Return the cooked shrimp to the wok along with the softened rice vermicelli.

Step 8

Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil evenly over the vermicelli. Stir everything together and toss well to combine.

Step 9

Add the chopped spring onions and ground white pepper, mixing everything thoroughly. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to ensure the flavors meld together.
