Ingredients
- 2 packages of instant noodles see notes
- 3 eggs
- 5.3 ounces cabbage chopped
- 1.7 ounce carrot shredded
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 0.7 ounces green onions cut into 2-inch sizes.
Instructions
- Boil the noodles just until they are firm. Avoid overcooking, as they will soften further during stir-frying.
- Once cooked, pour the noodles into a colander to remove all water.
- Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Gently scramble the egg until it’s mostly set, then remove it from the pan.
- In the same pan, cook the garlic until it becomes aromatic.
- Add cabbage to the pan and cook until it reaches your preferred level of tenderness.
- Return the noodles to the pan. Add white sugar, golden mountain sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce.
- Add egg, carrots, and green onions to the wok. Stir everything together, then remove the pan from the heat. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes
- For the exact measurements, please scroll down to the recipe card at the end of this post.
- In Thailand, we can buy instant noodles for stir-frying without seasoning packages. If you're left with those seasoning packets, you can save them for future stir-fries to add more flavor.
- MAMA instant noodles - The Thai MAMA brand instant noodles are perfect for stir-frying. You can find MAMA at any Asian grocery store and Asian market. You can use other brands, as long as the noodles are similar to the thin MAMA noodles.
