Ingredients

150 grams dry glass noodles (aka mung bean vermicelli noodles or bean thread noodles)
175 grams skinless boneless chicken thighs thinly sliced (or sub with chicken breast)
160 grams or 3 cups Chinese broccoli chopped into 1 inch pieces (or sub with bok choy, yu choy or choy sum)
2 large eggs beaten
2 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
2 cloves garlic minced

Chicken Marinade

2 teaspoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
¼ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper

Stir Fry Sauce:

2 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar or brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon white pepper or black pepper

Chili Vinegar:

1 red chili pepper chopped
¼ cup white vinegar or rice vinegar

Instructions

Marinate sliced chicken thighs with regular soy sauce and white pepper. Set aside as you prepare other ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine Stir-Fry Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine red chili and white vinegar. Set aside.
In a large bowl with dried mung bean noodles, add hot boiling water and let this soak for 2 minutes until loosened and slightly softened. Do not over soak. Strain immediately. Rinse off with running cool water and strain.
In a wok or large skillet on medium-high heat, add vegetable oil or any neutral oil. Followed by garlic and marinated chicken. Cook chicken until it's 75% cooked. Move to the side of the pan.
Into the empty space of the pan, pour in beaten eggs. Cook and scramble them. Move to the side of the pan.
Add in Chinese broccoli, noodles, and Stir-Fry sauce. Toss everything together until noodles are well coated in sauce and greens have softened, about 2 minutes.
Remove off heat and serve by mixing in some of the chili vinegar (start by adding 1-2 tablespoons and add more as needed to taste). Enjoy!
