Step 6: Add Fresh Veggies
Turn off the heat and then toss in the chopped green onions and handful of bean sprouts. Mix gently to combine.
Absolutely yes! You can add proteins like chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Cook the protein first in the wok, set them aside, and then add it back when stir-frying the noodles.
If palm sugar is unavailable, you can substitute it with brown sugar or coconut sugar. Both provide a similar sweetness and mild caramel flavour.
Soak the vermicelli only until soft and flexible. It usually takes about 5–7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the vermicelli used. Avoid over-soaking, and cook the noodles briefly in the wok so they stay slightly firm.
You can add a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, peas, mushrooms, or baby corn. These vegetables add colour, texture, and extra nutrition to the dish.
