Because this recipemoves fastonce you hit the stove!
CKT thorns in my side!
But they are notoriously delicate and prone to breaking when preparing and even worse, when cooking.
So its not a question ofifthe noodles will break itshow much they will break.
Even Char Kway Teow at restaurants have broken noodles.
Here are my tips to minimise noodle breakage:
Fresh is best Fresh noodles break less than dried.
Really fresh noodles that have just been made and not even refrigerated break the least.
My chosen method: microwave.
Alternative: run under warm tap water.
DO NOTboil or soak in boiling water or attempt to break apart fridge cold noodles.
This = noodles breaking into a gazillion tiny pieces.
Minimise handling in wok.
Toss or gently turn noodles in wok.
Youve always wanted to be a Wok Master and nows your time to show off!
Quick food nerd trivia moment:* Gluten holds noodles/pasta together, and rice noodles have no gluten.
Its worth it, I promise!

This is Chinas answer to chorizo and bacon.
It is salty and sweet, a very distinct flavour that is unlike anything else and its addictive.
