Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- tofu noodles 1~2 packs
- pork slices as needed
- shrimp 4~5 pieces
- soaked sea cucumber slightly
- onion 1/4 small
- shiitake mushroom 1 piece
- bamboo shoots slightly
- green onion 1/2 bunch
- garlic 2 cloves
- soy sauce 1 tablespoon
- oyster sauce 1 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳
- Remove all moisture from the tofu noodles, then lightly toss with a small amount of vegetable oil and set aside.
- Heat generous amounts of oil in a pan, then fry the tofu noodles on both sides until crispy, then transfer to a separate bowl.
- Cut all ingredients—onion, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, green onions, garlic, pork, sea cucumber—into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat oil in a pan, sauté sliced green onions and garlic to release aroma, then add 1 tablespoon soy sauce to develop a smoky flavor.
- Add the prepared pork, shrimp, sea cucumber, and cleaned vegetables, then stir-fry quickly over high heat.
- Once ingredients are partially cooked, add just enough water to coat, bring to a boil, then season with 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and black pepper.
- Add a small amount of nokcho to give the sauce a delicious brown hue, then gradually add starch slurry to adjust thickness.
- Turn off the heat, mix in sesame oil, and pour the finished sauce over the pre-fried tofu noodles to serve.
- After removing moisture, toss tofu noodles with oil and pan-fry until crispy; set aside in a bowl.
- Prepare all vegetables, meat, and seafood into bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté green onions and garlic in a pan to build aroma, then add meat, seafood, and vegetables and stir-fry together.
- Add just enough water to coat, bring to a boil, season with oyster sauce and pepper, then adjust consistency with starch slurry.
- Finish the sauce with sesame oil and generously pour it over the pre-fried tofu noodles.
Cooking tips 💡
- Before frying, lightly toss the tofu noodles with oil—this prevents clumping, draws out moisture, and ensures they become crisp and nutty like snacks.
- For a more appetizing golden-brown color in the sauce, we recommend adding about half a teaspoon of Chinese nokcho (dark soy sauce).
