Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine the chicken stock, rice vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and cayenne pepper in a cup or small bowl, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Place the chopped chicken in a bowl and toss with the 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rice noodles and cook approximately 6 minutes, or until soft enough to bend easily but still firm and a little crunchy when you try to eat it (undercooked by regular standards). Drain and rinse noodles briefly with cold water to keep them from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in the oil and swirl around. Add the garlic, chili, and galangal or ginger. Stir-fry 1 minute.
• Add the chicken and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, continuing to stir-fry until they turn pink and chicken is opaque-about 2 to 3 minutes.

• Push the ingredients to the side of the pan (if the pan is dry, drizzle in a little oil). Crack the egg into the empty space and stir-fry quickly to scramble.

Continue in this way, adding more sauce every minute or two, until all the sauce has been added and noodles are chewy and a little bit sticky, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Fold in the bean sprouts and green onion. Remove from heat and taste-test, adding more fish sauce or lime until the desired taste is achieved.
• Portion out onto individual plates and add a lime wedge on the side. Top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
