Ingredients

For the Stir-Fry:

• 250g dried glass noodles (prepared as per packet instructions)

• 2 tbsp neutral oil (canola or other)

• 1/2 onion, cut into thin wedges

• 4 garlic cloves, finely minced

• 1 bunch of leafy greens (like bok choy or choi sum), cut into 2" lengths (~5 cups tightly packed)

• 3 eggs, whisked

For the Protein:

• 350g chicken or lean meat, cut into thin strips

• 2 tsp soy sauce (or seasoning of choice)

• Pinch of white pepper (or black pepper as substitute)

For the Sauce:

• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian version)

• 1 tbsp fish sauce (or substitute)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp neutral-flavored oil

• 1 tsp white sugar

• 1/8 tsp white pepper (or black pepper)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Protein

Toss the protein (chicken or lean meat) with soy sauce and pepper. Set it aside while you prepare the rest.

2. Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients. It may seem like there isn't enough, but trust the process – this will flavor the noodles perfectly!

3. Cook the Protein and Vegetables

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, preheated pan over high heat. Add the onion and stir-fry for 15 seconds. Add the protein and cook for about 2 minutes until nearly done. Add garlic and the thicker parts of the leafy greens. Stir for another minute until the protein is cooked through.

4. Scramble the Eggs

Push everything to one side of the pan. Drizzle oil into the cleared space and pour in the whisked eggs. Stir gently to scramble. Once nearly done, mix the eggs with the rest of the ingredients.

5. Add Noodles, Vegetables, and Sauce

Add the leafy greens' leaves on top, then add the noodles. Pour the sauce evenly over the noodles. Use two spatulas to toss everything well, ensuring the noodles are coated with the sauce and there's no excess water in the pan.

6. Serve

Once everything is hot and well mixed, serve immediately. Enjoy this delicious stir-fry!
