Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g wide rice noodles
- 250g chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
- 2 large eggs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles and Chicken: Soak the wide rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes until soft yet firm. Thinly slice the chicken breast and set aside.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce (natural), dark soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and brown sugar (natural) until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Stir-Fry the Broccoli and Garlic: Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and broccoli florets, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and tender.
- Cook the Chicken: Push the broccoli to one side of the pan and add the sliced chicken. Stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until nearly cooked through.
- Add Eggs and Noodles: Push ingredients to one side and crack in the eggs. Scramble lightly and mix with chicken and broccoli. Add soaked noodles on top, then pour the prepared sauce over everything.
- Combine and Char: Toss the noodles gently with tongs or a spatula to absorb the sauce and mix well with other ingredients. Let the noodles sit for 1 to 2 minutes to develop a slight char before tossing again for smoky flavor.
- Serve Hot: Remove from heat once well combined and piping hot. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and taste.
Notes
- Use a large wok or pan to ensure even cooking and enough space to toss ingredients effectively.
- Do not over-soak noodles to prevent mushiness during stir-frying.
- Allow noodles to sit briefly on the hot pan to develop the signature light char flavor.
- Have all ingredients prepped and sauces mixed before heating the oil to speed up cooking.
- Adjust the ratio of light and dark soy sauce to suit your preferred saltiness and color intensity.
