  1                    Egg
  4       tb           Crushed roasted peanuts

 Place rice noodles in a large bowl.  Cover with water; soak 45 minutes. Cut
 chicken into 1 1/2" by 1/3" strips.  Cut shrimp in half lengthwise; set
 aside.  Combine water, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, paprika, and red
 pepper in a small bowl; set aside.  Reserve 1/4 of bean sprouts for
 topping; combine remaining bean sprouts and green onions.  Drain noodles.
 Heat a wok over medium-high heat.  Add oil and heat.  Add garlic; fry until
 garlic starts to brown.  Increase heat.  Add chicken; stir-fry until almost
 cooked, about 2 minutes.  Push chicken to one side. Break egg into wok.
 Stir quickly to break up yolk and scramble egg. When egg is set, mix with
 chicken.  Add drained noodles, shrimp, fish-sauce mixture and 3 tablespoons
 peanuts.  Cook and stir over high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until noodles are
 soft and most of liquid is absorbed. Add green-onion mixture; cook,
 stirring, 1 more minute. Spoon onto a heated platter. Sprinkle with
 reserved bean sprouts, then with remaining peanuts.
