Tips
- Soak the Noodles Properly: Make sure to soak the flat rice noodles in warm water for just the right amount of time—10 to 15 minutes. This ensures they are pliable enough to stir-fry without becoming mushy.
- High Heat is Key: Use medium-high heat when cooking. This will give your dish that authentic stir-fried flavor and help the broccoli retain its vibrant color and crunch.
- Adjust the Sauce: Feel free to customize the soy sauce and oyster sauce to match your taste preference. If you like it saltier, add a splash more soy sauce!
- Don’t Overcrowd the Wok: If you’re making a larger batch, consider cooking in two batches to avoid overcrowding the wok. This will ensure everything cooks evenly.
- Garnish for Freshness: Don’t skip the green onions! They add a fresh crunch and a pop of color that elevates the dish both visually and in flavor.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh off the heat. The noodles can become sticky if left to sit, so serve them hot for the best texture.
