1

Soak dry wide rice noodles in warm water for about 2 hours, or 1 hour if the water is kept warm.

2

Tear a noodle apart to check if it's done soaking.

3

Cut half an onion into strips and separate the white part from the green part of the green onions, cutting them into 2-inch sections.

4

Slice the chicken into bigger pieces, not thicker, and marinate with soy sauce, sugar, white pepper powder, baking soda, cornstarch, water, and optional rice wine until the liquid disappears.

5

Add a touch of oil to the marinated chicken and mix well.

6

Prepare bean sprouts and crack 2 eggs.

7

Mix the stir-fry sauce by combining soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper powder.

8

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rehydrated rice noodles for 2-3 minutes, then drain and mix with a little oil and 2 tablespoons of the stir-fry sauce.

9

Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and add oil, then stir-fry the onion and white part of the green onion until coated with oil.

10

Add bean sprouts and stir-fry briefly to remove raw taste while preserving crunchiness, adding a little sugar and dark soy sauce.

11

Remove the vegetables from the pan once lightly cooked.

12

Add oil to the pan and stir-fry the chicken until the edges change color, then add garlic and continue stir-frying.

13

When chicken is about 50% done, add dark soy sauce for color and a little water, stirring until it becomes a sauce that coats the chicken, then remove from the pan.

14

Using the leftover oil in the pan, crack the eggs and stir-fry until half cooked, then add the rice noodles and let them pan-fry for 1 to 1.5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

15

Add the rest of the premixed sauce to the noodles and stir-fry gently until the liquid evaporates.

16

Return all the ingredients to the pan and mix everything together.
