Ingredients:

200g rice vermicelli noodles
200g prawns, peeled and deveined
100g squid, cleaned and sliced
2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 red chilli, thinly sliced
1/2 cup carrots, julienned
1/2 red capsicum, thinly sliced
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp fish sauce
2 spring onions, sliced
Fresh coriander, chopped, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Vermicelli
Soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for 5–10 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.
2 Cook the Seafood and Aromatics
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large wok over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and red chilli, stir-frying until fragrant. Add the prawns and squid, cooking until the seafood turns opaque and slightly golden. Remove the seafood from the wok and set aside.
3 Combine and Stir-Fry
In the same wok, add the remaining oil, then add carrots and capsicum, stir-frying until slightly tender. Add the soaked vermicelli, tossing to combine with vegetables. Return the cooked seafood to the wok, pouring in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir-fry everything together for 2–3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauces.
4 Finish and Serve
Sprinkle in chopped spring onions and fresh coriander, tossing to combine. Serve hot, garnished with a lime wedge and extra fresh herbs.
