Steps

prep10 min
all ingredients measured beside the wok
Separate the noodles gently and stage every ingredient before heating the pan. The cooking window is too fast to stop and measure once frying begins.
saute5 min
wok or widest skillet smoking-hot
Heat half the oil until shimmering hard, then fry half the garlic, sausage and prawns just until the seafood begins to turn opaque.
saute5 min
noodles lightly charred rather than steamed
Add half the noodles and soy seasonings and toss rapidly over maximum heat. Keep the mass moving but give the noodles brief contact with the hot surface so edges can sear.
saute4 min
egg just set; sprouts and chives still crisp
Push noodles aside, add half the egg, then fold it through with half the sprouts and chives. Stop while the vegetables retain snap.
saute11 min
second batch matches the first
Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Combining the batches only after cooking preserves pan heat and avoids the soft steamed texture caused by crowding.
