Place a cast iron skillet or stir-fry pan over medium heat. Add cooking oil to coat the bottom. Once the oil is hot, add mushrooms and sear until all sides are browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the seafood. Add shrimp to the pan and sear until lightly golden and almost cooked through. Set aside.

Add squid to the pan. Stir-fry briefly until the squid is almost cooked through. Also remove from the pan and set aside.

Add more cooking oil to the pan if needed. Then add onion slices and stir-fry briefly until you start to smell the fragrance. Add carrots and continue to sauté for another minute. After that, add minced garlic and stir-fry briefly until fragrant.

Continue to cook for 5-6 minutes until the noodles and vegetables are cooked to your liking. If the pan looks dry and the noodles are not ready, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to help them achieve your desired texture.
