Instructions:
PREPARE INGREDIENTS
Thinly slice some chicken breast (250g)
Chop some gai lan leaves (150g), and seperate stems and leaves
Mince some garlic (4 cloves)
COOKING PROCESS
Marinate the chicken with light soy sauce (1 tbsp) and white pepper (1 tsp)
Prepare stir-fry sauce by mixing some light soy sauce (2 tbsp), sweet soy sauce (2 tbsp), fish sauce (1 tbsp) and sugar (1 tsp) in a small bowl. Mix well so the sugar is well dissolved.
Soak dry rice noodles in boiling water for 6 minutes (or follow package instructions). After 6 minutes, drain and rinse them under cold water.
Heat up 4 tbsp of cooking oil in a wok. When the oil is hot, add chicken and stir fry for 2 minutes. Then take the chicken out of the wok and leave it aside.
Remove half of the oil from the wok but save that oil for the next step. Saute garlic for 30-45 seconds then add gai lan stems. Continue to stir fry for 1 minute. Add two eggs and scramble them for 1 minute. Then add gai lan leaves and stir fry for 1 more minute. Take everything out of the wok and set aside.
Add back the oil that we removed earlier into the work. On high heat, add rice noodles. Pour 1/2 of the sauce and coat noodles with the sauce by tossing with a tong. Spread the noodles and do not touch or move them for 1 minute. This will caramelize and char the noodles at the bottom.
Then everything back into the work including the rest of the sauce. Mix everything well and we’re done!
