Soak the noodles for 10-20 minutes (usually enough for rice noodles, otherwise cook according to instructions)

Slice the garlic thinly, cube the tofu (smoked is lovely here, a fried tofu puff is good as well, as is mian jin), and cut the broccoli in 1 inch pieces, splitting the thick parts lengthwise

Heat some oil in a pan on high heat

Add the tofu and fry for a moment, push it to the side and crack the egg in the pan

Add the garlic, then the broccoli and stir fry everything but the egg

When the egg starts to set, scramble it briefly then mix everything and continue stir frying for a minute

Add the noodles and stir fry until softened and lightly charred

Add the sugar, soy sauces and chives and stir well until everything is evenly coated

If the noodles at still a bit hard, add a tbsp water or two and stir fry until absorbed

Serve with fish sauce, sugar, soy sauce and chilli flakes to adjust flavour to taste
