Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak rice vermicelli in hot water until just pliable, ~6 minutes. Drain well in a colander.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add shrimp and squid. Stir until opaque and cooked through, ~3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Toss in the drained vermicelli and stir constantly until edges crisp and turn golden, ~4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Pour oyster sauce and soy sauce over the noodles. Toss to coat evenly. Return seafood to the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Fold in scallions. Toss once more until everything is coated and fragrant, ~30 seconds. Serve immediately.
