3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice

Place rice noodles in a large bowl. Cover with water; soak 30-45 minutes. Cut chicken into 1 1/2x3-inch strips.

Cut shrimp in half lengthwise; set aside. Combine water, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

Reserve 1/4 of bean sprouts for topping; combine remaining sprouts and onions. Drain noodles. Heat a wok over medium heat for 2 min. Push chicken to 1 side.

Break egg into wok. Stir quickly to break up yolk and scramble egg.
