In the same pan, add a little more oil and scramble 2 beaten eggs, breaking them down into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add noodles, sauce, garlic chives sliced into 1 ¼” thick strips, ¼ cup (25 g) bean sprouts, and ¼ cup (30 g) chopped peanuts. Toss.

Step 4

Add back cooked shrimp and give it another toss. Top with sliced purple cabbage and a few thinly-sliced carrots for color (optional), ¼ cup (25 g) bean sprouts, and ¼ cup (30 g) chopped peanuts.
