Ingredients

8 oz wide rice noodles - 4.3 jar
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce - 8.6 qt
1 tablespoon light soy sauce - 0.9 inch
2 tablespoons oyster sauce - 9.0 tsp
1 tablespoon sugar - 5.5 ml
1 teaspoon vinegar - 1.7 qt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil - 9.6 pt
2 cloves garlic, minced - 2.4 as needed
8 oz chicken breast, sliced (or tofu/shrimp) - 9.2 to taste
1 egg - 3.5 jar

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Usually, this involves soaking them in hot water until they are soft and pliable. Drain well and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Step 4

Add the chicken (or tofu/shrimp) and cook until browned and cooked through. Push the chicken to one side of the wok.

Step 5

Crack the egg into the wok and scramble it lightly. Then, mix it with the chicken.

Step 6

Add the Chinese broccoli to the wok and stir-fry until it turns bright green and is slightly tender (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 7

Add the cooked noodles to the wok. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the noodles are slightly caramelized. Serve immediately, garnished with white pepper if desired.
