Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Glass noodles (mung bean vermicelli)
- 200 grams Chicken breast or shrimp (optional for protein)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
- 2 pieces Lime wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
If using chicken or shrimp, cut the protein into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and ground white pepper to make the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
If using protein, add it to the wok and stir-fry until cooked through (about 3-4 minutes for chicken or shrimp). Remove from the wok and set aside.
Crack the eggs directly into the wok and scramble them for about 1 minute.
Add the julienned carrot, shredded cabbage, and chopped green onions to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked protein (if using) to the wok, along with the drained glass noodles.
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the noodles and toss everything together, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the noodles and vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
Turn off the heat, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
