This is the one I've made that turned out the best. I like his style better than others because his noodles turn out much better. Cooking them briefly and then shocking them with cold water before integrating them into the pot/pan/wok made a ton of difference. I always struggled with the noodles clumping up or the whole thing turning into a sticky mess.

Only thing I will do differently is start the eggs in a separate pan.

I made this again last night and......ate like a fucking pig :facepalm:

Cooking the eggs in a separate pan and shocking the noodles after the initial boil are the way to go.

Below are the ingredients/notes I made from the video.

• Make the sauce
• prep all the ingredients
• soak, then boil the noodles for 2 minutes
• shock the noodles in cold water to prevent them gumming up
• Heat cooking vessel and add the oil of your choice (I use vegetable or olive oil)
• Add protein and cook until it is approx half cooked
• Add the arromatics, cook for 1 minute
• Add the noodles, cook another minute
• Add the bean sprouts and eggs
• stir it up and verify the protein is cooked then take off heat and serve
