Ingredients

  • 1 lb Flat rice noodles (kway teow)
  • 1/2 lb Chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 large Eggs

  • 1/2 cup Chinese chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)

  • 1 teaspoon Chili paste (sambal oelek)
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1Place a 12-inch wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  6. 6Add the 1 cup of bean sprouts and the 1/2 cup of Chinese chives. Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles are coated in the sauce and all ingredients are heated through.
