Instructions
Fill a large bowl with hot tap water and immerse the noodles to soak for about 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chicken stock, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and 2 teaspoons of chile sauce. Set aside for later use.
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, stir in garlic and cook for about 10 seconds. Add the shrimp and chicken, stirring constantly until the shrimp turns opaque and the chicken is fully cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Push the ingredients to the edges of the wok, creating space in the center. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring until the eggs are firm. Add the noodles to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce. Continue stirring until the noodles are tender, adding a little more water if necessary to finish cooking the noodles.
Stir in 3 cups of bean sprouts, green onions, and the remaining chile sauce. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped peanuts. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more spice or lime juice if desired.
Serve the dish with the remaining 2 cups of bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges on the side for garnish.
