Let’s make it

  1. If using beef, cook it first until tender; if using shrimp, keep it aside until the end.
  2. Heat oil and cook garlic, shallots, coriander, and curry powder for 1 minute.
  3. Add tomato, cabbage, water, noodles, salt, and beef or shrimp. Stir-fry until the noodles are hot and coated, 4 to 5 minutes. Cook shrimp only until opaque or beef is heated through.
