Tips

- Vacuum sealing can shorten marination time.
- Dark soy sauce is mainly for color and can be omitted.
- Shaoxing wine provides a true takeout flavor.
- Cook broccoli until it turns a nice bright green.
- A cornstarch and water slurry thickens the sauce.
- Noodles used are pre-boiled and ready to cook; adjust if your noodles need boiling first.
