3. Heat the oil in a wok or large non-stick pan over medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer.

5. Push the chicken to one side of the pan and pour the eggs on the empty side of the pan, scramble the eggs until just slightly set.

Good, but rice noodle ratio might be a little off. Next time I think I'll only use 12 ounces of noodles.
