2. 2
   Prepare the noodles: if using fresh rice noodles, microwave at medium power for 1–2 minutes to separate them, then gently pull apart. If using dehydrated noodles, soak for 2+ hours until soft, then drain.
   ▶ ≈0:46
3. 3
   Transfer the noodles to a large container and drizzle with 1 tbsp dark soy sauce. Gently mix to distribute the sauce evenly and give the noodles color.

4. 4
   Prepare the remaining ingredients: beat 3 eggs and mince 6 garlic cloves. Separate the leaves from 1 lb Chinese broccoli; peel and slice the stems. Make the seasoning sauce by mixing 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp light soy sauce, ½ tbsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tbsp oyster sauce in a bowl.
   ▶ ≈1:44
5. 5
   Heat a wok or large pan over high heat with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. When hot, add a little minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Before it browns, add the Chinese broccoli leaves with a pinch of salt and ½ tbsp light soy sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until tender, then remove and set aside.
   ▶ ≈2:31
6. 6
   In the same wok over high heat, add 2 tbsp vegetable oil. When hot, add the remaining minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Before it browns, add the marinated meat and stir-fry for 1 minute 30 seconds until cooked through.
   ▶ ≈2:54
7. 7
   Push the meat to the side and reduce heat to medium. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir occasionally until just set but still slightly moist. Turn heat back to high and stir gently every 30 seconds to keep large egg pieces, mixing with the meat.
   ▶ ≈3:17
8. 8
   Add the seasoned noodles and the seasoning sauce to the wok. Stir occasionally for 3 minutes, allowing the noodles to lightly char from contact with the hot pan. Add the reserved broccoli leaves and stir for 1 more minute until everything is well combined.
