Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams wide rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 200 grams chicken breast or pork (thinly sliced)
- 3 cups chicken stock or water
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 200 grams Chinese broccoli or bok choy (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 0.5 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the wide rice noodles by separating them into individual strands. If refrigerated, microwave or steam briefly to loosen them.
In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the noodles for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally to lightly char them. Remove the noodles and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced chicken or pork to the pan. Stir-fry until the protein is no longer pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock (or water), and bring it to a simmer.
Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and fish sauce (if using) to the simmering stock, stirring well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the stock while stirring continuously to thicken the gravy.
Once the gravy has thickened, add the chopped Chinese broccoli or bok choy. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
Sprinkle the white pepper into the gravy and stir to incorporate.
Plate the cooked noodles and pour the hot gravy mixture over them. Serve immediately while steaming and fragrant. Enjoy your Rad Na!
