Separate 450 g of wide rice noodles from a 900 g package and microwave for 30 seconds to soften.

Prepare the vegetables by slicing the stems of the Chinese broccoli and cutting the leaves into large pieces, separating them for cooking.

Chop garlic and beat 2 eggs in a bowl.

Slice 250 g of chicken breast into pieces, ensuring they are not too thick or too thin.

Marinate the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon corn starch, 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes.

Prepare the sauce by mixing 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well and set aside.

Make a chili vinegar sauce by slicing chili and soaking it in vinegar. Set aside.

Heat oil in a pan on high heat and scramble the eggs until 60-70% cooked, then remove from the pan.

In the same pan, add more oil and cook the Chinese broccoli stems for about 1 minute, then add the leaves, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar, and a little rice wine. Toss and remove from the pan.

Add more oil to the pan, cook garlic until fragrant, then add the marinated chicken and cook until light brown on both sides.

Add the noodles to the pan, followed by the scrambled eggs and the prepared sauce. Stir gently to combine without breaking the noodles.

Add more dark soy sauce to achieve desired color, then pan-fry the noodles on each side for 1-2 minutes until slightly charred.

Return the cooked vegetables to the pan, mix well, and serve hot with chili vinegar sauce on the side.
