Instructions
- 1
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl (except for the water) and set aside 2 Tbsp of oil to cook the noodles. Stir to mix and gradually add in water and knead until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky to your hands and the bowl. Move the dough onto a clean working surface and knead again. The dough shouldn't be sticky to the working surface. The longer you knead, the better.

Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with wrapper and let it rest for 30 minutes. Once the dough is ready, dust your work surface and roller with some flour. Knead again for another 5 minutes and then roll it out to about 1/4-inch thick

Starting from the side near you, roll the sheet of dough up into a long roll and use a knife to cut into thin or thick strips (it's up to you)

Dust the strips of noodles you cut with flour to prevent them from sticking together

Bring about 8 cups of water along with 2 Tbsp of oil to a rolling boil. Add in the noodles and lightly stir a bit and bring it back to a boil. When it's boiling add in 4 cup of cold water and bring it back to a boil. Remove from the heat. Discard the water and rinse the cooked noodles in cold running water. Toss with some cooking oil and ready to use for stir-fry

Preheat wok with oil. Add in garlic and saute until fragrant. Add in the Chinese broccoli, saute briefly until they are soft. If you wish to add in some slices meat like chicken, beef, pork, etc, this is when you add it and saute until they are cooked through. Add in the noodles and continue to saute for about 5-8 minutes. Add in seasoning and taste to your liking. It is best when served hot
