I had the good fortune of trying this at a friend’s healthy food shop once, and I’ve still thought about it ever since!

| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| gluten-free buckwheat noodles | 70g |
| choy sum | as needed |
| egg | 1 as needed |
| roasted peanuts | 50g |
| garlic | 1 clove |
| bird's eye chili | 1 as needed |
| water | as needed |
| salt | a pinch |
| oyster sauce | 1 tsp |
| chicken bouillon powder | a pinch |
| sugar | a pinch |
| light soy sauce | 1 tsp |
| sesame oil | 1 tsp |

All ingredients lined up and ready to go!

Place the egg in cold water, bring to a boil and cook for 7–8 minutes. Transfer to cold water, peel, and cut in half. Cook the buckwheat noodles starting from cold water until they reach your preferred tenderness, then rinse under cold water twice — this makes the noodles springy and chewy!

Wash the choy sum and blanch until cooked, then drain. Prepare the dressing: mince the garlic and bird’s eye chili, then mix with salt, oyster sauce, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, light soy sauce, and a splash of water.

Drizzle sesame oil over the buckwheat noodles and toss to coat. Pour the dressing over and mix well. Arrange the choy sum on a plate, add the noodles, top with the halved egg, and scatter roasted peanuts on top. Serve!
