Ingredients
- 12 oz flat rice noodles or rice vermicelli
- 8 oz chicken, beef, seafood, tofu, or vegetables
- 2 cups vegetables
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, optional
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- White pepper
- Neutral oil
- Scallions
Method
- Separate rice noodles gently.

- Stir-fry garlic and vegetables.
- Add noodles and toss.
- Season with soy sauces, sugar, and white pepper.
- Return protein.
- Cook until noodles are hot and lightly charred.
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.
