02Steps
  1. Prepare all ingredients: Slice pork belly, peel and devein shrimp, score and slice squid, mince garlic, slice fish cake, cut chye sim, beat eggs.
  2. Heat lard (or oil) in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced pork belly and stir-fry until cooked through and slightly browned.
  5. Add shrimp and squid, stir-fry until almost cooked.
  6. Push ingredients to one side of the wok. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Mix with other ingredients.
  7. Add yellow noodles, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper. Stir-fry well to coat the noodles evenly.
