Short description: This wok-fried noodle dish is glossy, savory, and slightly sweet, with chewy noodles and charred edges.
Ingredients: Wide rice noodles stir-fried with dark and light soy sauce, egg, chicken or pork, Chinese broccoli, garlic, and a little sugar.
Cultural note: The dish depends on fast heat: the noodles should pick up smoky wok flavor while staying broad and springy.
Common misconception: It is not the same as the tamarind-heavy noodle dish with peanuts; this one leans on soy sauce and wok char.
