- Makes: 1 serving (340 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein

Ingredients
- 90 g Rice noodles, dry
- 100 g Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, raw
- 60 g Chinese broccoli, raw
- 50 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 10 g Soy sauce
- 5 g Soy sauce, low-sodium
- 5 g Sugar
- 5 g Garlic, raw
- 15 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Soak the wide rice noodles in hot water for 10 minutes until soft and pliable, then drain gently to avoid tearing them.
- Slice the chicken thinly and cut the Chinese broccoli into short lengths, separating the stems from the leaves.
- Heat the oil in a wok over high heat, add the garlic and chicken, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through with no pink left (74°C/165°F).
- Push the chicken aside, crack in the egg, let it set for 15 seconds, then scramble and mix through.
- Add the broccoli stems first and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the leaves, noodles, dark and light soy sauce and sugar.
- Toss everything over high heat for 2-3 minutes, pressing the noodles against the hot wok now and then so they catch a little char.
- Serve immediately while the noodles are hot and lightly smoky.
