Frequently Asked Questions
What is 'wet' style?+
The 'wet' style means the dish is served with a generous amount of savory, thickened egg-drop gravy poured over the noodles.
Can I use dried noodles?+
Fresh wide rice noodles are essential for the authentic texture; dried ones are too chewy and don't absorb the gravy as well.
How do I get the 'wok hei' flavor?+
Wok hei requires very high heat; ensure your wok is smoking hot before adding the noodles and move them continuously.
Is beef the only meat choice?+
Beef is the classic choice, but you can also use pork or shrimp; just adjust the cooking time for the protein accordingly.
