Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles, stirring to untangle, 2 minutes. Drain, then rinse under cold water until cold. Drain well. Meanwhile, whisk chicken broth with peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil and chili garlic sauce until combined. Set aside.
Set a large wide skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tsp (10 mL) oil to pan. Add beaten eggs and a pinch of salt to pan. Scramble eggs just until set, about 1 minute. Place on a plate.
Add remaining oil to pan and increase temperature to medium-high. Add onion, scraping up any excess egg, and stir-fry 1 minute. Add cabbage, carrot, red pepper and 2 tbsp (30 mL) water. Adjusting temperature as needed, stir-fry 2 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and a pinch of salt. Stir-fry 30 seconds.
Add noodles to pan, along with curry powder and generous pinches of salt. Stir-fry until vegetables and noodles are mostly mixed. Add chicken broth mixture, egg and shrimp, tossing until well combined and hot, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and peanuts.
