Noodles and broth
- Untangle the fresh rice noodles.
- Heat a wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral vegetable oil.
- Add the noodles, 4 tablespoons water and dark soy sauce, and cook until the noodles soften.
- When the noodles begin to brown and stick together, tip them into a bowl.
- Heat the wok again over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of neutral vegetable oil.
- Add the garlic, and sauté (without burning) until it releases its aroma, then add the tauco (yellow soybean paste) and continue to sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil.
- Gradually add the slices of pork or chicken to the boiling broth, so that they do not stick together.
- Continue cooking until the pork or chicken is no longer pink.
- In a small bowl, make a slurry with a teaspoon of water and the tapioca starch, and pour into the broth, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Add the Chinese broccoli, baby corn, mustard leaf, soy sauce, oyster sauce, Thai sauce, and sugar.
- Continue cooking for a few minutes until the Chinese broccoli is barely tender and still crunchy.
- Finally, add the bean sprouts, mix and immediately turn off the heat.
