Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz wide rice noodles
- 4 oz smoked turkey bacon, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups Chinese broccoli or broccoli florets, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon natural gelling agent
Other
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the noodles and sauce: Soak or boil the wide rice noodles according to package instructions until just tender but not mushy. Drain the noodles well. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, dark soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and natural gelling agent to create the savory sauce blend.
- Cook the smoked turkey bacon and aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add smoked turkey bacon slices and cook until crispy and fragrant. Add minced garlic and stir quickly to infuse the oil without burning.
- Add eggs and greens: Push bacon and garlic to one side of the pan. Crack eggs into the cleared space and scramble lightly. Mix everything together, then add chopped Chinese broccoli or broccoli florets. Stir-fry until the greens are tender yet still vibrant.
- Toss in the noodles and sauce: Increase heat to high. Add the drained noodles and pour the prepared sauce over them. Toss rapidly and evenly to coat the noodles and heat through, allowing a slight char to develop for authentic flavor.
- Final touches and serve: Give the dish a final toss. Adjust seasoning with salt or extra soy sauce if needed. Serve piping hot for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Use day-old noodles refrigerated beforehand to prevent clumping during stir-frying.
- Stir-fry quickly on high heat to combine tenderness with slight charring.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming ingredients.
- Have all ingredients prepped and sauces mixed before cooking to ensure a smooth process.
- Adjust sauce quantities to your taste for sweetness, saltiness, or acidity.
