- 2 cups cabbage, carrots, onion, or bean sprouts
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, optional
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- White pepper
- Neutral oil
Method
- Soak rice vermicelli until pliable and drain well.

Variations and substitutions
- Adjust the protein or vegetable only when the core technique and sauce remain recognizable.
- For allergies or religious dietary needs, check sauces, broth, wrappers, cooking wine, and shared wok or fryer use.
- For restaurant-style versions, texture matters as much as flavor: noodles should not be mushy, fried items should not be soggy, and broths should remain clear unless the dish calls for thickness.
