- A pinch of mustard greens and cabbage, sliced
- A pinch of scallions and celery, sliced

How to make it
- Prepare the ingredients. Sauté the garlic, add the shrimp paste. Sauté until fragrant. Add the egg, stir-fry until stiff. Add all the seasonings, soy sauce, and other ingredients.
- Add the sliced vegetables and a pinch of water, and stir-fry until the vegetables are 3/4 cooked. Be sure not to overcook the vegetables, as they will retain their crunchy texture. Check the seasoning.
- Finally, add the flat rice noodles. Stir-fry until evenly distributed. Add the spring onions and celery just before serving, and stir again. Remove from heat and serve warm with fried onions and other favorite toppings.
