  • These noodles really are quite simple to make; the one thing to take care of ahead of time is buying all the ingredients. Peanut oil, fish sauce, and sweet chili sauce aren't always on hand, but they're easy to find at any large supermarket or specialty store.
  • Wash and clean the shrimp ahead of time, removing the heads and shells. Then start on the noodles, following the package directions. Usually rice noodles are covered with hot (boiling) water, which you can lightly salt, and left covered for about 5 minutes. Then drain the noodles in a colander, let the excess liquid run off, and let them cool to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, keep going. First, in a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, fish sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Stir well and set the mixture aside. Then prep the rest of the ingredients:
    • wash the broccoli and bell pepper, pat them dry with paper towels, then break the broccoli into florets. Cut the bell pepper in half, cut out the stem, scrape out the seeds, and cut the flesh into medium squares;
    • peel the onion and garlic, then slice the onion and chop the garlic cloves with a knife (not too fine).
  • Next, set a large wok over high heat, get it good and hot, then add a little peanut oil. You can swap in any other vegetable oil. Don't add much oil — just a little, no more than a tablespoon. Add the prepped shrimp and, stirring constantly, fry them for 3 minutes. In that time they'll turn pink and get nicely browned. Move the fried shrimp to a large flat plate and return the pan to the heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the pan, fry for half a minute, stirring, then add the broccoli and bell pepper. Pour in a tablespoon of water, cover the pan, and cook the vegetables this way for 2 minutes, then transfer them to the plate with the shrimp.
  • Add the cooled noodles to the pan (set back over the heat) and pour the broth-and-sauce mixture over them. Cook it all together for 2 minutes, then crack the eggs onto the noodles. Stirring constantly and vigorously, cook for 1 minute, working to distribute the egg evenly through the noodles.
  • Return the shrimp and vegetables to the pan, toss everything, cook for 2 minutes, then immediately divide the noodles among 4 plates. Sprinkle each portion with peanuts and serve.
  • Enjoy!
