Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white vinegar, and sugar. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and cook until browned and crispy. Remove from wok, leaving rendered fat.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok with the pork fat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry for 1 minute. Then add the leaves and stir-fry for another minute until slightly wilted.

  5. 5

    Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the eggs to the empty side and scramble until almost set. Break them up.

  6. 6

    Add the wide rice noodles and the crispy pork belly back to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles.

  7. 7

    Stir-fry vigorously, tossing to coat everything evenly. Cook for 3-5 minutes until noodles are tender and slightly charred.

  8. 8

    Season with white pepper. Serve immediately with a lime wedge.
