Ingredients
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- ½ tsp dark soy sauce
- ½ tsp white sugar
- 2 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 400 g fresh wide rice noodles, separated
- 150 g roasted Chinese duck meat, shredded
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 stems Chinese broccoli (gai lan), sliced into 5 cm lengths
- 1 coriander stalk, roughly chopped
- ½ tsp freshly ground white pepper
- coriander leaves and lime halves, to serve
Pickled chilli
- 2 long red chillies, thinly sliced diagonally
- 125 ml (½ cup) white vinegar
Instructions
To make the pickled chilli, place the chilli and vinegar in a small bowl, making sure the chilli is covered and set aside until ready to serve.
Combine the sauces and sugar together in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat until it shimmers and begins to smoke. Add the garlic and cook for 10 seconds or until aromatic, making sure it doesn’t colour. Add the duck and stir-fry for 1 minute or until just warmed through.
Add the noodles and cook for 4 minutes, only tossing every minute, until nicely seared and coloured in places. Add the sauce mixture, stir through evenly, and cook for 1 minute.
Make a hole in the centre of the noodles, add the egg to the centre, cook for 1–2 minutes or until just set, then fold the egg into the noodles.
Add the broccoli, coriander stalk and pepper and cook for 1 minute or until the broccoli is tender.
Serve the noodles with the pickled chilli scattered over and lime squeezed over.
