  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 150 g chicken breast, thinly sliced

  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Instructions

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion, stir until fragrant.
  3. Add chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. Push mixture aside, add remaining oil, and scramble eggs until just set.
  5. Add cabbage, carrot, and green onions. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Notes

  • Do not over-soak noodles to avoid mushy texture.
  • Use shrimp, beef, or tofu as protein alternatives.
  • Add chili for a spicy version.
  • Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  • Reheat with a splash of water to loosen noodles.
