- Drain well, then, using scissors, cut them into 6-inch (15-cm) lengths.
- In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat.
- When you see a wisp of white smoke, add the garlic and chicken.
- Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the chicken is seared on the outside but still medium-rare.
- Crack the eggs into the pan, break the yolks slightly and cook until they start to set, about 30 seconds.
- While the eggs are still wet, stir in the noodles and stir-fry to combine all the ingredients for about 30 seconds, until the eggs are set but the noodles are still firm.
- Stir in the onion, celery and cabbage and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until the vegetables start to soften and mix with the noodles.
- Immediately add the oyster sauce, soybean sauce and sugar and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until the sauce coats the noodles.
- Finish the noodles by adding the tomato, scallions, cilantro and white pepper.
- Stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds to a minute, until the tomatoes become slightly soft.
