Gather @flat rice noodle{400%g}, @egg{2}, @bean sprout{100%g}, @garlic chive{50%g}, @sweet soy sauce{2%tbsp} and @soy sauce{1%tbsp}.

Have everything within arm's reach before you start — @garlic{3%clove}, @shrimp{200%g}, noodles, both soys, sprouts and chives. This dish moves in under two minutes once the wok is hot.

Get the wok violently hot — smoking — before anything touches it.

Add oil, then fry the garlic and prawns 30 seconds, until the prawns turn pink. ~{30%seconds}

Push everything to one side and scramble the eggs in the cleared space until just set. ~{30%seconds}

Add the noodles and both soy sauces; toss with big, confident scoops so the edges catch and char. ~{90%seconds}

Add the sprouts and chives in the final 30 seconds; toss just to wilt them. ~{30%seconds}

Serve immediately, while it's still smoking — this noodle doesn't wait.
