2. **Prep the Eggs** — Heat the wok and pour in 15-20g of cooking oil. When the oil is about 70% hot, pour in the egg mixture and quickly scramble. Once set, remove and set aside, leaving the residual oil in the wok.

3. **Make the Tomato and Egg Topping** — In the residual oil, sauté the white parts of the scallions and minced garlic until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and green bell peppers and stir-fry until the juices are released. Add soy sauce and granulated sugar and stir-fry. Add one bowl of water and bring to a boil. Pour in the eggs and oyster sauce/chicken bouillon powder. Reduce the sauce over medium-low heat, then add the green parts of the scallions and sesame oil.
   - Duration: 7 min
   - Tip: Stir while reducing the sauce to prevent sticking.
   - Tip: Adding sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes.

4. **Cook the Noodles and Assemble** — Add 500ml of water to the wok and bring to a boil. Add the dried wheat noodles. Once the noodles are soft, add 100ml of cold water. After it boils again and the noodles float, add another 100ml of cold water. When the edges of the noodles are translucent, they are done. Remove and place in a bowl with the topping, then toss to combine.
   - Duration: 8 min
   - Tip: Adding cold water in cycles makes the noodles chewier.
   - Tip: When the sides of the noodles are translucent, they are fully cooked.

## Tips

- You can add 2g of black pepper to the egg mixture for better flavor.
- Add 2g of white pepper powder while making the topping to enhance the savory aroma.
- The trick to cooking noodles is to add cold water each time it boils, repeating two or three times. This keeps the noodles from sticking and makes them chewy.
