    How to cook Cantonese egg noodles ?

    First of all, you need to boil the noodles using either fresh or dried cantonese egg noodles. If you use fresh one, boil them and rinse under cold water in order to remove alkaline stuff and drain them very well. I suggest using a non-stick pan to stir fry because it uses less oil and is healthier.

    Cooking tips for how to make soy sauce noodles (豉油皇炒麵):

    • Boil and rinse noodles under cold water.
    • Drain the noodles very well.
    • Use a non-stick pan to stir fry, so you can use less oil and the noodles won't stick on a pan.
    • stir fry sprout beans a little bit, don't over cook them.

    FAQs:

    Can I use other noodles like spaghetti?


    Yes, you can. However, the texture is different. The dish will be slightly different from the traditional Cantonese soy sauce noodles.

    What is dark soy sauce?


    Dark soy sauce is a darker colored soy sauce mainly used for adding color and flavor to dishes. It is richer, slightly thicker and less salty than other regular soy sauce.

    Why boil the noodles?

    The purpose of boiling the noodles is to loosen up and soften the noodles, so it is easier to stir fry. If you use fresh noodles, it helps to remove alkaline stuff from the noodles.
