Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons sweet chile sauce
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
½ pound bean sprouts
¼ cup shredded carrots
½ lime, cut into wedges
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
Heat oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Combine rice wine vinegar, ketchup, fish sauce, chile sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
Add shrimp to the wok. Cook and stir until pink, about 4 minutes. Add the ketchup mixture and stir. Move all ingredients to one side to clear a small space in the pan. Pour in eggs and cook without stirring until partially set, about 3 minutes.
Stir the drained noodles into the shrimp and egg mixture. Add 1/2 cup peanuts, 1/4 cup bean sprouts, and carrots. Cook and stir until noodles are heated through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the remaining peanuts, bean sprouts, lime wedges, green onions, and cilantro.
