Ingredients
- 12 oz chicken breast or thigh
- 1 tbsp Tang Chai is an optional ingredient. A Chinese salted cabbage for the salty fermented flavors. Find these in the Asian market. I often times don't use it as it is not my favorite. Totally up to you!
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce1 tablespoon Thai light soy sauce plus 1-2 more teaspoons for adding to adjust at the end.
- 2 tsp Golden Mountain seasoning sauce
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground white pepper. More if you love some heat
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil. More if necessary.
- 1 lb wide rice noodles.
- 3 eggs
- 2 stalk green onions (Spring onion)
- 1 tbsp Tang Chai
- romaine lettuce for serving with noodles.
Instructions
- 1
Mix the sauces in a bowl. Mix the chicken well and let it marinate for 20-30 minutes. Longer, if possible, up to 3 hours.

After marinating, heat up a wok and pour in half of the oil. Place the chicken in the wok, making sure all the pieces are spread out and touching the surface of the wok. This will give the chicken a delicious charred taste. Cook each side for just 2-3 minutes. Once done, take the chicken out of the wok and set it aside for later.

Heat the wok on high and add oil. Let it smoke slightly. The hot wok will give your noodles a restaurant-style stir-fried taste. (See kitchen notes below for extra tips.) Add the noodles and spread the strands flat on the wok and let them char for about a minute. Add more oil to prevent sticking.

Make a crater in the middle, add oil and beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs, then fold in the noodles. Toss everything together.

Add the chicken, pickled cabbage, and sliced green onion to the dish and toss everything together until well combined. For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle 1 teaspoon of seasoning sauce over the ingredients. If you're satisfied with the dish, you can stop here.

If you prefer your noodles to be more charred, allow them to cook undisturbed for an additional 2 minutes. The bottom of the noodles will start to brown and clump together, which adds a delicious texture.
