Ingredients

2
tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
2
pounds fresh wide rice noodles
¾
to 1 pound chicken breast (or thigh, cut into strips)
2
cups Chinese broccoli, ends trimmed and thick stalks cut into 2-inch lengths (or broccoli, cut into small florets, or baby bok choy , leaves separated)
4
cloves garlic, minced
1
egg
2
to 3 tablespoons sherry (or cooking sherry)
½
cup fresh coriander, for serving
Thai chili sauce, for serving
For Marinade
1
tablespoon oyster sauce
2
tablespoon soy sauce
1
teaspoon brown sugar
For Stir-Fry Sauce
1
tablespoon soy sauce
1
teaspoon dark soy sauce
2
tablespoon fish sauce
¼
teaspoon white pepper
1
tablespoon lime juice
⅓
to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or 1 to 2 teaspoons Thai chili sauce)
1
teaspoon brown sugar, optional

Step 1
Gather the ingredients.
Step 2
Mix together the marinade ingredients and pour it over the chicken. Stir well and set aside to marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 3
Combine stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a cup and set near the stove.
Step 4
Heat a wok or very large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and swirl around, then add the garlic. Stir-fry 30 seconds to release the fragrance.
Step 5
Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked. When wok/pan becomes too dry, add a little sherry (1 tablespoon at a time) to keep ingredients frying nicely.
Step 6
Add the vegetables and continue stir-frying 1 to 2 minutes, or until vegetables have slightly softened but are still bright green. Add 1 more tablespoon sherry when pan becomes dry.
Step 7
Push ingredients to the side. Add another 2 teaspoons oil, then crack the egg into this space.
Step 8
Quickly stir-fry to scramble the egg.
Step 9
Add the noodles and pour the stir-fry sauce over.
Step 10
Using 2 utensils and a gentle tossing-type motion, stir-fry everything together until noodles are a consistent color and have softened (about 2 to 3 minutes). Avoid over-frying your noodles or they will break and turn soggy.
Step 11
Taste-test the noodles for salt. Add more fish sauce until desired taste is achieved. If too salty, add more lime juice. To serve, gently lift noodles onto a platter and top with fresh coriander. Serve with Thai chili sauce on the side.
