👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Prepare the cornstarch slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 4 tablespoons of water until smooth. Set aside.
⏱️ 1 minute - 2
Prepare the noodles: If using fresh noodles, gently separate them. If they are stiff, you can briefly steam them for 30 seconds or microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until they are slightly softened and have developed some light charring in spots. Push noodles to one side of the wok or transfer to a plate.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Cook the protein and aromatics: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the sliced pork or chicken and stir-fry until it's mostly cooked through and no longer pink, about 2-3 minutes. If using, add the Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry for another minute until they start to soften.
⏱️ 4 minutes - 4
Build the gravy: Pour in the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the Chinese broccoli leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes, until they are wilted and tender-crisp.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Thicken the gravy: Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir, then slowly pour it into the simmering gravy while stirring constantly. Continue to stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency – it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 6
Combine and serve: Add the stir-fried noodles back into the wok with the gravy (or pour the gravy over the noodles on a plate). Gently toss to coat the noodles evenly. Serve immediately, garnished with pickled chilies and a drizzle of white vinegar, if desired.

💡 Dicas Profissionais
- ✓For authentic char on the noodles, use a very hot wok and don't overcrowd it. You might need to cook the noodles in batches.
- ✓The gravy should be thick enough to cling to the noodles, not watery.
- ✓The combination of pickled chilies and white vinegar adds a crucial bright, acidic counterpoint to the rich gravy.
