Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounce rice noodles package
  • 3 medium carrots julienned
  • 4 napa cabbage leaves shredded
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 clove garlic finely minced
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dried shrimp small
  • 4 dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 3 cups fresh bean sprouts
  • 1/2 pound pork tenderloin thinly sliced
  • 1 sprig fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice mix
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Large pan or wok
  • Colander for draining noodles

Method
 

  1. Cook rice noodles according to package instructions, usually 3 to 4 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  2. Heat half the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and saute until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add minced garlic and julienned carrots, stir-frying for 2 minutes.
  3. Add thinly sliced pork tenderloin and cook until no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Toss in cooked rice noodles and stir to combine everything thoroughly.
  5. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, white pepper, and dried shrimp. Mix thoroughly until noodles are evenly coated.
  6. Push noodle mixture to one side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into empty space, scramble gently, then mix everything together.
  7. Fold in shredded cabbage and fresh bean sprouts. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until just wilted but still crunchy.
  8. Finish with a splash of rice wine vinegar and season with salt to taste.
  9. Transfer to serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Don't overcook the noodles initially as they will cook further in the pan. Use high heat for authentic charred flavor. Can substitute pork with chicken breast, shrimp, or tofu for variations.
