Instructions

Heat a wok over high heat and add cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the pork slices, shrimp, and fish balls, and stir-fry until they are half-cooked. Then add the choy sum, bean sprouts, noodles, and vermicelli, tossing all the ingredients quickly with a spatula.
Add the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), water, and pepper powder, and keep stirring until the noodles are cooked through, being careful not to overcook them. Dish out and garnish with fried shallot crisps. Serve immediately with a dollop of sambal belacan.

Notes

In the United States, I can't find Malaysian thick soy sauce, which is slightly sweet in taste so I often use Indonesian kecap manis as a substitute. If you are in Malaysia, use the local thick soy sauce. If you can't find kecap manis , you can use Chinese-style dark soy sauce, but you might want to add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavor of this dish.
