📱 OVERVIEW

  • Total Time: 15 Minutes

  • 🥣 1 Small bowl (to prep the sauce)

  • 🥄 1 Metal or wooden spatula

  • 🧪 1 Sieve (to rinse noodles)

  • 🔪 1 Sharp knife & Cutting board

  • 🧤 1 Oven mitt

🛒 THE INGREDIENTS

The Base

  • 🍜 Flat rice noodles 200g (dried or fresh)

  • 🥚 Eggs 2 large

  • 🥬 Bok choy 2 heads (chopped)

  • 🫑 Bell pepper 1 (sliced thin)

  • 🧅 Onion 1/2 (sliced thin)

  • 🧄 Garlic & Ginger 1 tablespoon each (minced)

The "Umami" Sauce

  • 🧂 Soy sauce 2 tablespoons

  • 🐟 Fish sauce 1 tablespoon

  • 🫒 Toasted sesame oil 1 teaspoon

  • 💧 Water 2 tablespoons (to loosen the noodles)

  • 🌿 Fresh basil 1 handful (or green onions/cilantro)

👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

1. The Quick Prep

  1. 🔪 Slice Thin: Cut the Onion, Peppers, and Bok choy into thin strips. In a stir-fry, everything moves fast, so having your veggies ready is key!

  2. 🥣 The Mix: In a Small bowl, stir together the Soy sauce, Fish sauce, Vinegar, and Sesame oil.

2. The High-Heat Sizzle

  1. 🔥 The Wok: Get your Wok screaming hot with a splash of oil.

  2. 🧅 Veggie Sear: Toss in the Onion and Peppers. Stir-fry for 2 Minutes until they get dark "char" spots but stay crunchy.

  3. 🧄 Aromatics: Add the Garlic, Ginger, and Bok choy. Stir for 30 Seconds until the greens start to wilt.

3. The Noodle "Marriage"

  1. 🍳 The Well: Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan to make a hole in the middle. Crack the Eggs into the center and scramble them until they are just set.

  2. 🍜 The Carbs: Add the Rice noodles on top of the eggs.

  3. 🌊 The Hydration: Pour your Sauce and the 2 tablespoons of water over the noodles.

  4. 🔄 The Toss: Stir everything together over High heat. The water will steam the noodles so they soften, while the high heat browns them in the salty sauce.

  5. 🌿 Finish: 🛑 Turn off the heat. Toss in the Basil—the leftover heat will wilt it perfectly.

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🔥 High Heat Smoke: A proper stir-fry uses very high heat. If your pan starts to smoke heavily, turn on your extractor fan or open a window immediately!

  • 🧤 Wok Handle: Wok handles get extremely hot, especially if they are metal. Use your Oven mitt when tossing the noodles.

  • 💧 Water Splash: When adding the water/sauce to the hot pan, it will hiss and steam up. Keep your face back so you don't get a "facial" from the spicy steam!
