Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh wide rice noodles (or dried, soaked), separated
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz Chinese broccoli (or broccolini), cut in 2-in pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp regular soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp regular soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

  2. 2

    If using dried rice noodles, soak in warm water for 30 minutes until pliable, then drain. If using fresh noodles, gently separate the strands.

  3. 3

    Heat a wok or large skillet over the highest heat possible until it starts to smoke. Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and swirl to coat.

  4. 4

    Add 4 cloves minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 10 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 lb thinly sliced boneless skinless chicken breast and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Push the chicken to the side.

  5. 5

    Crack 2 large eggs into the center of the pan and scramble until just set, about 30 seconds, then mix into the chicken.

  6. 6

    Add 8 oz cut in 2-in pieces Chinese broccoli (or broccolini) and stir-fry for 1 minute until bright green.

  7. 7

    Add 1 lb separated fresh wide rice noodles (or dried, soaked) and pour the sauce over everything. Toss vigorously for 2-3 minutes, letting the noodles char against the hot pan.

  8. 8

    Season with 1/2 tsp white pepper, toss once more, and serve immediately.
