Ingredients

• 300 grams Wide rice noodles (chow fun noodles)
• 2 cups Cooked white rice (preferably day-old)
• 200 grams Chicken breast or shrimp (optional, diced or peeled, deveined)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wide rice noodles in hot water for 15–20 minutes or according to the package instructions until softened, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken or shrimp (if using) and cook until fully cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same wok, heat another 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and scramble the eggs until just set. Remove and set aside with the cooked protein.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high. Add the julienned carrot and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 6

Add the soaked rice noodles and cooked white rice to the wok. Toss gently to avoid breaking the noodles.

Step 7

Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir-fry everything together until well-coated in the sauce, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Return the cooked protein and scrambled eggs to the wok. Add the bean sprouts, green onions, and a pinch of white pepper and salt. Toss for another 1–2 minutes until everything is evenly mixed and heated through.

Step 9

Serve the Fried Rice Chow Fun immediately, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
