Method:

•    In the first step, put a small pan of boiling water over a medium flame. 

•    Add the dried noodles and boil them for approximately 4 minutes. 

•    Once boiled, transfer them to a bowl of cold water. Leave them aside for a while. 

•    Now, take a bowl and mix all the sauce ingredients in it. 

•    Once combined, put this sauce into a small well-sealed container. 

•    Ensure that the counter doesn’t leak out otherwise it will ruin the whole lunch meal.

•    Next, heat some oil in a frying pan over a medium-high flame. 

•    Break the egg into a cup and whisk it for a few seconds. 

•    Now, pour this batter into the pan and fry to get a thin omelette. 

•    Once the omelette is cooked from one side, flip it to cook from the other side.

•    Then, transfer the cooked omelette to a chopping board and leave it for a while at room temperature to cool down.

•    Now, place the same pan over a high flame and include the chicken. 

•    Fry for 1 minute from each side. 

•    Once cooked, switch off the flame and put it on a piece of paper towel to cool down.

•    In this step, roll the omelette to form a cylinder shape, then slice it into small pieces.

•    Now, drain the cooked noodles properly and put them into your lunch box.

•    Top the noodles with bean sprouts followed by the rashers, egg, pepper, and tomato.

•    Finally, sprinkle spring onion sesame seeds and chilli flakes on the dish.

•    The noodles can be served cold as well as hot, as per your choice.

•    You can make it spicier by adding a good amount of chilli flakes.

•    You can ignore adding soy sauce, as per your choice.
