6 oz skinless boneless chicken thighs thinly sliced (or sub with chicken breast)
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

Instructions

Marinate sliced chicken thighs with chicken marinade ingredients as listed above. 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 1-2 minutes just until loosened and slightly softened. Do not over soak!
Strain noodles immediately. Rinse off with running cold water and strain out as much excess water as possible.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Fry garlic and marinated chicken until chicken is 75% cooked. Move to the side of the pan.
Pour in beaten eggs. Cook and scramble them. Move to the side of the pan.
