- Heat the Wok:
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons of oil. - Sauté Aromatics & Chicken:
Stir-fry garlic until fragrant. Add sliced chicken and cook until lightly browned. - Add Eggs:
Push the chicken to the side. Add 1 tablespoon of oil in the center and crack in the eggs. Scramble lightly until half cooked. - Add Noodles & Seasoning:
Add flat noodles. Pour in sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce (if using), white pepper, and stock powder. Stir quickly and thoroughly. - Add Vegetables:
Toss in bean sprouts and green onions. Stir just briefly to retain the veggies’ crunch. - Adjust & Serve:
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with sliced chili and lime wedges for extra zing.
Tips for Authentic Flavor (Restaurant Style)
- Use high heat and a wide wok to get that signature “wok hei” (smoky aroma).
- Don’t over-stir or overcook—the noodles can break.
- You can also add shrimp or squid for variety, but make sure they’re halal-certified and fresh!
