- Boil the noodles in water with salt till just done. Drain out water and mix about a tbsp of oil to avoid the noodles sticking to each other.

- Add the shrimps and sauté till lightly fried. Add the bacon and fry for a little longer.
- Take them out and leave aside.
- Now add 4 tbsp of the oil and add the onion. Allow the onions to get fried for about a minute before adding the capsicums.
- Finely chop the green chilli and add them as well.
- Fry till the capsicums have softened a little.
- Now add the shrimps and bacon back into the pan.
- Add the pepper, vinegar and a little salt.
- Mix in the noodles.
- Add the remaining oil along the sides of the pan.
- Beat the eggs and pour on the noodles.
- Cover and cook on low to medium heat until the eggs are done.
- Remove from heat. Grate the cheese and sprinkle over the omelet.
- Put the pan inside an oven and grill the top till the cheese is melted and browned.***Let the omelet cool a little. Now carefully, with a flat ladle, take out the omelet onto a plate and divide into 4 equal portions and serve hot.
NOTES*Add green capsicums only if you do not have red and yellow ones at home.
** Optional.
*** If you can’t put the whole pan inside the oven, using a flat ladle, carefully take out the omelet from the pan onto a foil and then grill it.
