Ingredients
  

  • 500 g rice flat noodles fresh, or 200g dry noodles
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 bunch choy sum baby asian greens  or Bok Choy, baby brocolli etc. Chopped up.
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon caster sugar or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon oil neutral such as sunflower, peanut or vegetable

Instructions
 

  • Cook/heat noodles to packet instructions, rinse with cold water to stop over cooking, drain and leave aside.
  • Whisk together the sugar, soy sauce, dark soy and vinegar until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.
  • Bring a wok or large pan to high heat with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the garlic and fry for 20 seconds then add in the greens. Sauté these for 1 - 2 minutes until they begin to wilt.
  • Push the greens to one side of the pan then crack the eggs into the other side and use a wooden spoon to scramble them.
  • Toss the eggs and greens together until combined then transfer to a bowl and leave aside.
  • Bring the pan back up to very high heat. You want it nice and hot so the noodles get some caramelisation without over cooking. Add the noodles and pour the sauce right over. Toss a couple of times to coat the noodles in the sauce then let sit for 30 - 40 seconds to allow the noodles to caramelise, toss and repeat 2-3 times.
  • Add the eggs and greens to the noodles, toss again a couple of times to combine then transfer noodles to a serving bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Perfect Noodles: Rinse the noodles with cold water after cooking to stop them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • High Heat Cooking: Ensure the pan or wok is very hot to achieve the caramelisation and slight charring that adds depth of flavour to the dish.
  • Balance the Sauce: Taste and adjust the sauce ingredients as needed to achieve the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and umami flavours.
