Directions

  1. Submerge the vermicelli in boiling water with a drizzle of oil for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. Season with oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder, then mix well to coat the vermicelli.
  2. Prepare the egg with chopped chives and 1/2 teaspoon of powdered broth. Cook a thin omelette, roll it up, and then cut it into small triangles.
  3. Chop the shallot and sauté it in the oil, then remove it. Cut the shrimp into pieces and sauté them as well, then mix them with the vermicelli.
  4. Sauté the vermicelli and shrimp over high heat until the edges are lightly browned. Arrange in a bowl, alternating shrimp and omelette, and serve immediately.
