If you don’t find golden mountain sauce, just add the same amount more soy sauce. I’ve found it difficult to get rice noodles that fit the bill where I am, and if you can’t, substitute about 400g of the widest dry noodles you can find. Soak them before use.

Instructions

Step 1

Make a chilli vinegar by combining the chilli and vinegar in a small bowl, leaving in the fridge for at least 30 mins (while you prepare the rest of your meal).

Step 2

Combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Step 3

Fry the tofu in half of the oil, in a wok until golden. Remove from the wok and set aside for now.

Step 4

Stir fry carrot, then Chinese broccoli, garlic and choy sum. Don’t let everything get too soft, remove from the wok, and wipe it down to remove residue.

Step 5

Heat up the remaining oil and fry the rice noodles, adding the sauce and sprinkling over the sugar and the pinch of white pepper. Initially don’t stir it around too much, you want the noodles to char a little in the hot wok as this is some of the signature flavour of the dish. The noodles also usually need a few minutes to soften. After char is achieved, add the vegetables and tofu and mix for a minute, allowing it all to warm up, and serve. Sprinkle some of the chilli vinegar on top when eating for a little acidity and heat.
