Garlic, minced -- 2 or 3 cloves
Sambal oelek (chile paste) -- 1 to 2 tablespoons
Chinese sausages, sliced into rounds -- 1 or 2
Shrimp, peeled and deveined -- 1/2 pound
Fresh rice noodles -- 1 pound
Soy sauce -- 1/4 cup
Brown sugar -- 1 tablespoon
Eggs, beaten -- 2
Mung bean sprouts -- 1 cup
Scallions, chopped -- 3 to 4
Heat the oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed pot over high flame. Add the garlic and sambal oelek and stir fry for about 30 seconds. Add the Chinese sausage and shrimp and stir fry until the shrimp is almost cooked through. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the rice noodles, tossing them to heat through. Scrape the bottom of wok or pot frequently to minimize sticking. Then add the soy sauce and brown sugar and stir in to season the noodles. Scoop the noodles away from the center of the wok or pot and pour the beaten egg into the cleared space. Let the egg cook until just set, and then stir into the noodles. Add the sprouts and scallions and continue to cook, tossing frequently, until the sprouts are just cooked through. Adjust seasoning and serve.
