Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh wide rice noodles
- 12 oz beef, chicken, seafood, tofu, or vegetables
- 2 cups choy sum, bean sprouts, mushrooms, or onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster or mushroom sauce
- 1 cup stock
- White pepper
- Cornstarch slurry
- Neutral oil
Method
- Separate rice noodles and sear briefly for wok aroma.
- Stir-fry protein and vegetables separately.
- Add stock, soy sauce, oyster or mushroom sauce, and white pepper.
- Thicken into a light gravy.
- Place noodles on a platter.
- Pour gravy over the noodles.
- Serve immediately.
Variations and substitutions
- Adjust protein, vegetables, and heat level only when the core technique and sauce remain recognizable.
- For allergies or religious dietary needs, check sauces, broth, wrappers, cooking wine, nuts, sesame, shellfish, and shared wok or fryer use.
- For restaurant-style versions, texture matters as much as flavor: fried items should stay crisp, noodles should not become mushy, and sauces should coat rather than flood the dish.
