Ingredients
- 150 gram 5.3 oz dried thin rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 large egg
- 3 ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- ½ medium size onion thinly sliced
- ½ medium size carrot thinly striped
- ¼ cup cabbage thinly striped
- ¼ cup celery thinly striped
- 2-3 scallion (spring onion) greens cut into 2-inch pieces
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper ground
For the chicken
- 150 gram 5.3 oz skinless chicken breast cut into strips
- salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- ⅙ teaspoon white pepper ground
- ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
For the sauce
- ½ teaspoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon chicken powder optional
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken, onion, garlic, carrot, cabbage, celery, and scallions. Have everything ready to go before you turn on the stove.
- Soak the thin dried rice noodles in hot water (not boiling hot) for about 5-8 minutes. To test whether the noodle is soaked enough, you can take and chew on one noodle.
- When softened, rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside. You can use a colander.
- Make the stir-fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, toasted sesame oil, and chicken powder in a bowl until well combined.
- Take chicken in a bowl, add ground white paper, salt, water, cornstarch and vegetable oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Crack the egg and beat it.
- Heat a large pan or wok over a medium-high flame. Once the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl the pan to spread oil all over.
- Add the beaten egg and once they start to become solid, break them into pieces and immediately take them out. Make sure not to overcook the eggs.
- Heat your pan or wok over high heat until smoking hot. Then add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the marinated chicken and stir fry over medium-high flame until the chicken is cooked through. When done, take them out and set aside.
- Heat 1.5 tablespoons of oil in the same pan. Once the oil is hot enough, add onion and minced garlic, and stir fry for 30 seconds.
- Next, add the carrot, cabbage, and celery, stir-fry for another 30 seconds or so.
- Add the prepared rice noodles and toss the noodles until heated through.
- Next, add the cooked eggs, chicken, and ground white pepper. Toss the noodles for about 30 seconds more. Take care not to break the noodles.
- Finally, add the stir-fry sauce and scallion greens and toss for about a minute.
- Then turn off the flame and serve hot.
Notes
- Keep all the ingredients ready before you start cooking.
- Don't skip the quick chicken marinating process. It's essential for a tender, juicy, flavorful chicken, just like in Chinese restaurants.
- Use sufficient hot water to soak the rice vermicelli. There must be enough room for the vermicelli to move around.
- Don't overcook the noodles or they will become mushy while frying.
- Always add the sauce ingredients at the end of the cooking process.
- As soon as you turn off the flame, transfer the stir-fried mei fun to a serving dish to stop it from getting cooked in the residual heat.
