    1/4 cup dried shrimp
    1/2 cup anchovy (we call it ikan bilis in malaysia) (optional)

Preparation
    Soak noodles in cold water for 1/2 hour or warm water for 15mins, then drain.
    Beat eggs with fork in a small bowl, with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
    Spray non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and fry beaten eggs.
    Remove and slice egg into strips.
    Heat canola oil in non-stick frying pan.
    Once hot, fry anchovies until golden brown and fragrant.
    Remove and use kitchen paper towel to soak up excess oil from anchovies.
    Still using the remaining oil, saute garlic, onions and dried shrimps for approx 2 minutes over medium heat, until fragrant.
    Add cabbage, sprouts and mushrooms, saute for 1-2 minutes (until half-cooked).
    Add curry powder, belacan powder, black pepper, oyster sauce, chilli flakes, continue to stir fry.
    Add pre-soaked noodle and stir-fry until noodles are cooked.
    Add soy sauce (i use about 1 tablespoon), stir-fry until sauce is well-incorporated in noodles (you may want to taste noodles before adding too much soy sauce).
    Top with crispy anchovies and sliced egg-strips before serving.
