Instructions

Flat rice noodles (kwetiau)

  • Cook the flat rice noodles according to packaging's instructions. The flat rice noodles we used took about 7 minutes boiled in water to cook. Transfer to a strainer to drain off water and run cold water through the noodles to prevent them from sticking.
  • Heat 1 tsp of sesame oil on a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the cooked flat rice noodles and 1 tbsp of low-sodium soy sauce. Stir-fry until the noodles are evenly coated with the soy sauce, about 45 seconds. Remove noodles from heat and transfer onto a serving plate.

Egg gravy sauce

  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil on a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the shrimps and cook for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • To prepare the sauce mixture, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  • To prepare the cornstarch slurry, combine 2 tsp of cornstarch with 5 tsp of cold water in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil on a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant and tender, about 30 seconds. Add the ground pork and stir-fry while breaking the pork into smaller pieces. Continue to stir-fry the pork for about 1 minute, or until it is no longer pink. Add the bok choys and stir-fry for another minute until they are softer but still has a crunch. Pour in the chicken broth and add the sauce mixture and stir well. Let the sauce come to a boil and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Let sauce come back to a boil and thicken slightly, then add the beaten egg while continuously stirring the sauce. Add the cooked shrimps and let sauce simmer for another minute.
  • Pour sauce directly over the flat rice noodles and top with chopped green onions.
