# How to Make It:

01 - Place rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Allow to soak for 10 to 15 minutes until noodles are pliable. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp if using and cook for about 2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and reserve.
03 - Add remaining vegetable oil to the wok. Sauté sliced onion and minced garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
04 - Stir in cooked chicken (or pork) and sauté for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
05 - Add julienned carrot, green beans, celery, and shredded cabbage. Stir-fry for 5 to 7 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
06 - Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
07 - Add soaked rice noodles to the wok, gently tossing to incorporate and ensure even coating with sauce and vegetables. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until noodles are heated through and have absorbed the flavors.
08 - Return cooked shrimp to the wok if using and toss gently to mix.
09 - Transfer contents to a large serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions, toasted garlic (if desired), and lemon wedges for squeezing just before eating.

# Additional Information:

01 - For a vegetarian dish, substitute meat and shrimp with tofu, adjusting seasonings as needed.
02 - Enhance umami by adding a splash of fish sauce or extra soy sauce according to taste.
03 - Drizzle a small amount of sesame oil over noodles for added depth and aroma just before serving.
