Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chow fun noodles
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by chopping green onions, mincing garlic, and measuring out vegetables and sauces.
- Heat sesame oil in a large wok or wide skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers and becomes fragrant.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Pour beaten eggs into the pan and scramble quickly, breaking them into small pieces as they cook.
- Add mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly tender but still maintain their crisp texture.
- Add cooked chow fun noodles to the wok, gently separating them with a spatula to prevent clumping.
- Pour soy sauce over the noodles and vegetables, tossing everything together to ensure even coating.
- Season with salt and pepper, continuing to stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until noodles are heated through and slightly crispy.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the dish and give a final toss to distribute evenly.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
Tips
- Use day-old or cold rice/noodles for the best texture and to prevent sticking
- Ensure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding ingredients to achieve that authentic "wok hei" flavor
- Don't overcrowd the pan - this helps vegetables maintain their crisp texture
- Prep all ingredients before cooking, as stir-frying happens quickly
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of oyster sauce or a sprinkle of white pepper
- Use a wide spatula or wok turner to toss ingredients efficiently
- Let the noodles sit briefly in the pan to develop a slight crispy edge for added texture
