• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) fish sauce
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) oyster sauce

• 5 Teaspoons (tsp) Asian chile pepper sauce, divided
• 0.25 Cups vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic, minced
• 8 Ounces (oz) medium shrimp, peeled

Steps

1. Fill a large bowl with hot tap water and place the rice noodles in it to soak for 20 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, stir together lime juice, chicken stock, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and 2 teaspoons of chile sauce. Set aside.
3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, stir in garlic and cook for about 10 seconds. Add shrimp and chicken; cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp is opaque and chicken is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Move everything in the wok to the sides and pour the whisked eggs into the center. Cook and stir the eggs until firm.
5. Add the soaked noodles to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until noodles are tender. Add a bit more water if needed to finish cooking the noodles.
6. Stir in 3 cups of bean sprouts, green onions, and the remaining chile sauce. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped peanuts. Taste for seasoning, adjusting the spice or lime juice if needed.
7. Serve garnished with the remaining 2 cups of bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side.
