Pan- fried noodles go through a two- step tango to reach peak pleasure: first they’re quickly boiled and then they’re thrown into the wok to get their crispiness. It’s in the burning crucible of this wok, endowed with wok hei, that the noodles develop their fragrant satisfying character, commingling under such high temperature with the soy sauce, wine, oil, sugar, and herbs. If anyone asks you which dish embodies Cantonese cooking’s high- wire act, it’s this one.

NOTE: For an added oomph, we recommend using Pearl River Bridge Superior Light Soy Sauce and Pearl River Bridge Superior Dark Soy Sauce for this recipe.
