Char Mee Gantang, from Cambodia

Pour hot water over the glass noodles and let them stand for a few minutes until they are soft. Then drain and cut them into smaller pieces with scissors. Fry the glass noodles in half of the oil, then keep warm. Brown the diced garlic in the remaining oil. Add the pork strips and fry briefly. Pour over the beaten egg and stir over low heat until the meat is coated with the set egg. One after the other, add the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and the water mixed with the cornstarch to the pan or wok. Finally, sauté the broccoli for a few minutes until it still has a bit of a bite. To serve attractively, place some lettuce leaves at the bottom of the food bowls. Arrange the glass noodles on top, and then the meat and vegetable mixture on top. For more robust occasions, you can simply mix the glass noodles with the contents of the pan at the end.
