Ingredients

chicken thighs, sliced
1 cup
large egg
1
Chinese broccoli
4 stalk
garlic cloves, very finely chopped
2 clove
dried wide rice stick noodles
200 g

3 tbsp

0.5 tbsp
light soy sauce
1 tbsp
dark soy sauce
2 tsp
white vinegar
2 tsp

2 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Trim the ends from the Chinese broccoli and cut the stalks and leaves into 3-inch pieces. Separate the leaves from the thicker stalks, then slice any thick stalks lengthwise so they cook quickly and evenly.

Prepare the rice noodles according to the package directions, then drain well. Use them as soon as they are ready so they stay supple and do not break apart in the pan.

In a small bowl, stir together the dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, white vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or heavy skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 15 seconds, just until fragrant.

Add the sliced chicken and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often, until it is mostly cooked through. Add the Chinese broccoli stalks and cook for another minute.
