- 2 egg noodle nests, medium
- 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- MSG, optional, to taste
- salt, to taste
- oil, for cooking, as needed
Instructions

Cook the 2 medium egg noodle nests according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set them aside to cool completely. Allowing them to cool helps prevent them from sticking together, which makes mixing easier later.

Heat some oil in a hot pan or wok. Add the 1/2 sliced onion and the 400 grams diced chicken breast to the pan.
