b) 200 g chicken / tofu / shrimp

c) 2 cups Chinese broccoli (or regular broccoli/Kai-Lan)

d) 3 cloves garlic (minced)

f) 1 tbsp oyster sauce

g) 1 tsp sugar

h) ½ tsp white pepper

i) 2 tbsp oil

Step-by-Step

1.Prepare noodles

If using dried noodles, soak until soft. Fresh noodles—separate gently.

2.Make sauce mix

Combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper.

3.Heat the wok

Use high heat. Add oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.

4.Cook protein

Add chicken/tofu/shrimp and stir-fry until cooked through.

5.Add eggs

Push everything aside, crack eggs, scramble lightly, then mix in.

6.Add vegetables

Toss in Chinese broccoli and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes.

7.Add noodles + sauce

Add noodles and sauce mix. Toss well so noodles absorb the flavor.
