Ingredients
  

Sauce

Stir-fry

  • 4 tablespoons neutral oil (divided)
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 200 g chicken (or your preferred protein; thinly sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 scallion (sliced, white and green parts seperated)
  • ¼ small cabbage (shredded)
  • ½ medium carrot (julienned)

Instructions
 

  • Submerge the dried shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of boiling water for 15 minutes. Remove and discard the tough stems, then cut the caps into thin slices.
  • Soak the mung bean vermicelli in warm water for a few minutes until soft. When the noodles are pliable, use scissors to cut them in half. Let them soak in the water until the last step.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Heat your wok on high heat until it smokes slightly. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok and swirl it around. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until they are mostly solid but still slightly underdone. Remove to a bowl.
  • Add another tablespoon of oil and swirl it around the wok. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic and scallion whites and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Increase the heat back to high, then add the cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and carrots. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, making sure to constantly stir to allow steam to escape.
  • Add the vermicelli directly from the soaking water to the wok. Add the cooked egg, chicken, and sauce ingredients and stir-fry for two minutes until the noodles are tender. Be extra gentle to prevent the noodles from breaking apart. Garnish with scallion greens, and enjoy!

Notes

Dried shiitake mushrooms: Fresh or dried will both work. If using fresh, you can skip the step to rehydrate them.
Noodles are dry or sticky: If the noodles are sticky or dry, add one tablespoon of water at a time until they loosen up.
