Method
Noodles & Proteins
Soak noodles
Place the dried rice vermicelli in a large bowl and cover with warm (not boiling) water. Let soak 5–8 minutes until pliable but still slightly firm. Drain well and toss with 1 tsp neutral oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Prep proteins
Season the sliced chicken lightly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp white pepper. Pat the shrimp dry and season with a pinch of salt. Beat the eggs lightly in a small bowl.
Vegetables & Aromatics
Sauce & Stir-fry
Make sauce
In a small bowl combine yellow curry powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce (if using), white pepper, and stock/water. Stir until smooth and set near the wok.
Cook chicken
Add 1 tbsp neutral oil to the hot wok, swirl to coat. Add the chicken in a single layer and stir-fry over high heat 2–3 minutes until mostly cooked through with light browning. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Cook shrimp
Add another 1/2 tbsp oil if needed. Add shrimp and stir-fry 1–2 minutes until pink and just cooked. Remove and set with chicken.
Combine
Return chicken and shrimp to the wok. Add the drained noodles and pour the prepared curry-soy sauce over everything. Using tongs or two spatulas, toss and toss quickly so the sauce coats the noodles and ingredients evenly. If the mixture seems dry or the noodles clump, add up to 2–3 tbsp warm stock or water and continue tossing. Stir-fry 1–2 more minutes until noodles are heated through and have absorbed the sauce.
Finish
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or a splash more soy or fish sauce if needed. Drizzle sesame oil and toss. Stir in remaining scallion pieces just before removing from the wok.
Serve & Garnish
Transfer the Singapore Mei Fun to a large platter or divide among bowls. Garnish with lime wedges, crispy shallots or cilantro, and chili flakes or sliced chilies if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
