  3. Score the squid, cut into bite-sized pieces, blanch briefly in boiling water, and add to the plate.
  4. Briefly blanch the soaked glass noodles in boiling water, then drain immediately.
  5. Mix the blanched noodles with powdered mustard, 1 tbsp sugar, and sesame oil. Toss well and pile in the center of the plate.
  6. Heat oil in a pan, add the julienned onion, green onion, and pork, and stir-fry over high heat.
  7. When the meat is half cooked, add 5 tbsp water, 1/3 tbsp sugar, and 2 tbsp oyster sauce. Stir-fry until the sauce reduces and a wok hei aroma develops.
  8. Place the stir-fried meat and vegetables on top of the noodles in the center of the plate, then garnish with the julienned egg crepe. Serve.
  1. Make a thin egg crepe, julienne it, and prepare the cucumber and carrot.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When stir-frying the meat, adding it together with the vegetables prevents the meat from sticking to the pan due to its viscosity.
  • Soak the glass noodles in cold water for enough time beforehand so that they become chewy and tender when briefly blanched.
