Pan fry 2 pcs medium size carrots sliced into strips on medium flame setting until lightly toasted, then set aside.

Saute 2 pcs chopped onions on high flame setting for about 20 seconds.

Add 1 head chopped garlic and continue to saute for another 10 seconds.

Add about 600 g chicken thigh fillet chopped into small pieces and let the fat render.

Add 1 tsp salt and ground black pepper.

Add 6 Tbsp soy sauce and 6 Tbsp oyster sauce; mix and reduce on high flame setting.

Add 4 pcs chicken liver sliced into small pieces (optional).

Continue to reduce the soy sauce and oyster sauce on high flame setting.

Add about 7 cups hot water and mix to get toasted flavors from the pan; slow cook for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, separate or strain the meat from the broth.

Keep cooking on low to medium flame until broth is completely absorbed by the noodles; add back some broth if needed.

Add the pan-fried carrots and the chicken meat.

Add chopped cabbage; turn off the flame and mix thoroughly.
