Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil vermicelli in salted water for 4 minutes until just tender. Drain and spread on a plate to dry, about 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Pat shrimp and squid dry, add to the pan, sear 2 minutes per side until opaque. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add remaining 1.5 tbsp oil to the skillet. Add garlic and scallion whites, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Toss in the dried vermicelli, breaking up clumps. Stir constantly for 3 minutes until golden and crispy at the edges.

  5. Step 5

    Pour oyster and soy sauce over the noodles. Return shrimp and squid to the skillet, toss for 1 minute until coated and hot.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter scallion greens over the top and serve immediately from the skillet.
