SEASONING SAUCES
The main seasoning sauces in this recipe are Light Soy Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, and Oyster Sauce. These are the classic combo for Chinese cooking. The taste never goes wrong with these sauces. And every household should have these sauces in their pantry.
VEGETABLES
In this recipe, I use Lettuce, Bean Spouts, and Green Onions. You are welcome to use other veggies of your choice. For example, you can also use Bok Choy or Carrots. Remember to shred the Carrots into thin strips for the best possible taste.
INGREDIENTS
Vermicelli – There are many kinds of Vermicelli that you can choose from. Either kind should work. I love using both the Chinese and the Vietnamese rice noodles brands.
Eggs – I use three large eggs in this recipe. Eggs are must-have for this classic Chinese Fried Rice Noodles dish.
Vegetable Oil – I normally use Rapeseed Oil. You can also try Sunflower Oil. Do not use Olive Oil.
Light Soy Sauce – This is one of the must-have Asian sauces that you need to have in your kitchen. Lee Kum Kee is my favorite brand for this. You can use other brands too.
Oyster Sauce – You should definitely add this to your kitchen. Oyster Sauce adds a great hint of sweetness and a rich savoriness to the dish. I like to use Thai brand, such as Maekrua for this sauce.
Dark Soy Sauce – This is normally used to add a nice color to the dish in Chinese cooking.
Green Onions – or called Spring Onions. It adds beautiful green color and it is rich in healthy nutrients.
Black Pepper – It adds a bit of peppery flavor, which makes the noodles more flavorful.
Lettuce – You can use different kind of lettuce. The soft kind works the best.
Bean Spouts – This goes perfectly with the fried rice noodles. We love using Bean Spouts in Chinese cooking.
HOW TO MAKE THIS FRIED RICE NOODLES WITH EGGS RECIPE
Prepare the ingredients – Whisk the Eggs in a bowl. Cut the veggies. Set aside.
Cook the Rice Noodles – Steam a wok of water on medium-high heat. When the water starts steaming, add in the dried Vermicelli. Steam for a few minutes until the noodles open up. The noodles should still be firm, not soft. Then drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Prepare the Rice Noodles – Cover the bowl with a lid and let sit for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, open the lid and flip the noodles. Then cover and sit for another 5 minutes. Once done, add in the Dark Soy Sauce and mix well. This helps the noodles to get a nice color.
Cook the Eggs – In a wok, add in the Vegetable Oil, on medium-high heat. Pour in the Eggs. Stir fry until the Eggs are half cooked. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Assemble the dish – In the same wok, add in more Vegetable Oil, on medium-high heat. Add in the Rice Noodles. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Then add in the Eggs and Bean Spouts. Keep stirring. Then add in the Lettuce and Green Onions. Add in the seasoning sauces: Light Soy Sauce and Oyster Sauce. Combine everything well. Cook for another minute or two. Turn off the heat. Add in Black Pepper. Stir well again.
Ready to serve – Transfer to serving plates. Ready to enjoy!
Haini’s Tips
1. It is important not to steam the rice noodles too long in the wok. The noodles are supposed to be still firm after steaming in the wok. The resting process in a bowl with the lid will continue to cook the rice noodles. In this way, the rice noodles can maintain the chewy texture when stir-frying. 2. Adding Dark Soy Sauce into the noodles before cooking helps to add that nice brown color to the noodles. It helps to reduce the time in stir-frying. 3. You can use other veggies of your choice, such as bok choy or carrots.
