1
Prepare the ingredients: mince the garlic and chop the white part of the green onion into small pieces; cut the green part into 2-inch sections and keep separate. Shred the cabbage and separate the strands. Beat the egg and set aside.
2
Marinate the shrimp and chicken: rinse and pat dry the shrimp, then season with salt, sugar, white pepper powder and sesame oil. Slice the chicken and marinate it with salt, soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch and white pepper powder, then add sesame oil and mix well.
3
Cook the rice vermicelli: bring water to a boil, add the rice vermicelli and cook for about 1 minute until softened. Remove and cut into 1-2 shorter pieces for easier stir-frying. Drain well and set aside.
4
Stir-fry the egg: heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat, pour in the beaten egg and let it spread out. Once it firms up enough to flip, turn it over, break it into smaller pieces with your spatula, and remove once both sides are golden brown.
5
Stir-fry the shrimp and chicken: add more oil and place the shrimp in the pan, allowing the bottom to turn golden before flipping. When you flip the shrimp, add the chicken slices and spread them out, cooking until the bottoms are golden. Add the minced garlic, stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked, add a touch of dark soy sauce for color, then remove from the pan.
6
Stir-fry the cabbage: add oil to the pan, add a pinch of salt to the oil, then immediately add the shredded cabbage and stir-fry for about 1 minute before removing.
7
Stir-fry the rice vermicelli: add oil to the pan and sizzle the white parts of the green onion until fragrant and slightly browned. Turn the heat to low, add soy sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and unsalted chicken broth. Add the cooked rice vermicelli and stir until it fully absorbs the sauce.
8
Simmer the rice vermicelli: cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 3 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb more flavor. After 3 minutes, remove the lid and turn the heat back to medium-high.
9
Combine all ingredients: return the cooked egg, shrimp, chicken and cabbage to the pan, add the green parts of the green onion, white pepper powder and sesame oil, and toss everything together until well mixed. Plate and serve.
