Ingredients

2 lb fresh rice noodles or sub with dried rice noodles
½ lb pork belly diced
2.5 cups bean sprouts rinsed under cold water
2 cups Garlic Chives chopped
2 eggs
4 cloves garlic minced
2-3 teaspoon chilli garlic sauce optional
1 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Char Kway Teow Noodle sauce:

2 tablespoon dark soy sauce (add more if you want saltier)
1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (add more if you want it sweeter)
3 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine together noodle sauce ingredients as listed. Set aside.
If fresh rice noodles are stuck together, microwave rice noodles in a microwave safe bowl for 2-3 minute intervals until they become warm and pliable allowing them to cool down to touch. Once you can touch them, gently peel them apart. You may need to microwave them multiple times until you're able to peel them all apart. If you're using dried rice noodles, soak them in hot boiling water for 1 minute until firm but limp. Strain immediately.
Heat a large pan on medium high heat, add vegetable oil, pork belly and garlic. Fry until the pork is crispy brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce to medium heat. Gently toss in strained noodles and let the noodles absorb the oil for flavour.
Toss in Chinese chives and bean sprouts.
Sweep everything to the side of pan. Pour in your eggs and give it a good scramble. Then toss with the noodles.
Pour in your noodle sauce and gently toss together until the noodles are well coated in the sauce. At this point you can also mix in the chili garlic sauce (optional). Tip: use two spatulas to help you toss the noodles to avoid breaking them.
Serve with more chili sauce as desired and enjoy!
