Instructions

7 steps
  1. 1

    Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10 minutes until pliable but still with a slight bite, then drain well and snip into shorter lengths with scissors.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a wok over high heat and fry the garlic for a few seconds until fragrant, then crack in the egg and scramble quickly, breaking it into small curds.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced protein and stir-fry over high heat until just cooked through and no longer pink.

  4. 4

    Add the napa cabbage and morning glory, tossing constantly over high heat so they wilt quickly while keeping some crunch.

  5. 5

    Add the drained glass noodles and toss everything together, letting the noodles absorb any residual moisture in the wok.

  6. 6

    Whisk the suki sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar together and pour over the noodles, tossing vigorously so the sauce clings to every strand without pooling at the bottom.

  7. 7

    Plate immediately and finish with a scatter of cilantro, serving with extra suki sauce on the side for dipping.

Chef notes & practical guide

Technique notes, ingredient swaps, serve-alongside ideas, storage guidance, and equipment for this recipe.

Cultural context

Suki hang is the dry, stir-fried version of Thai suki, a dish that evolved from the hot-pot tradition into a plated noodle-and-protein stir-fry tied together by a tangy fermented bean-curd sauce. The hang, meaning dry, sets it apart from the soup version, with glass noodles, egg, mixed proteins, and vegetables wokked together and glazed in the signature pink-red nam jim suki. That dipping sauce, built on fermented tofu, chili, and sesame, is what makes suki taste like suki.

Listahan note

This version builds the dish around the fermented bean-curd sauce so it tastes distinctly like Thai suki rather than a generic stir-fry. It keeps the proteins mixed and flexible the way a suki plate usually is.

Technique cues

  • Make the suki sauce first so its fermented-tofu and sesame flavors are ready to glaze the dish at the end.
  • Cook the egg into the noodles so it coats the strands and helps the sauce cling.
  • Add the sauce off direct high heat at the finish so it glazes without scorching the fermented tofu.

Kitchen flow

Parallel prep
Blend the suki sauce and soak the noodles while you slice the proteins and vegetables.
Make-ahead
The suki sauce keeps for a week refrigerated, so make it ahead and stir-fry to order.
Leftover move
Reheat leftovers in a hot pan with a splash of water and an extra spoon of suki sauce to refresh.
Cleanup rhythm
Soak the pan and the sauce blender right away so the sticky glaze and sesame lift cleanly.

Ingredient brief

Role, handling, and swap guidance for each key ingredient.

glass noodles

main starch

Purpose: Glass noodles soak up the tangy suki sauce and give the dish its slippery body.

Handling: Soak in warm water until pliable, then drain before stir-frying.

Adaptation: Thin rice vermicelli works but softens faster.

shrimp

protein

Purpose: Shrimp add sweet, briny bites typical of a mixed suki plate.

Handling: Peel, devein, and add near the end so they stay plump.

Adaptation: More chicken or squid covers a shellfish allergy.

chicken

protein

Purpose: Sliced chicken gives a tender, mild protein that rounds out the mix.

Handling: Slice thin across the grain so it cooks fast.

Adaptation: Pork or extra tofu works just as well.

egg

binder

Purpose: Egg coats the noodles and helps the sauce cling to everything.

Handling: Scramble into a cleared space in the pan, then fold through.

Adaptation: Omit for an egg-free version and add a little more sauce for cohesion.

fermented bean curd

signature sauce base

Purpose: Fermented tofu is the defining tangy, funky note of the suki sauce.

Handling: Mash and blend with chili, garlic, lime, and sesame paste into a smooth sauce.

Adaptation: Store-bought Thai suki sauce saves time with the same character.

Chinese celery

aromatic vegetable

Purpose: Chinese celery adds the fresh, slightly bitter herbal note classic to suki.

Handling: Cut into short lengths and add near the end to keep its crunch.

Adaptation: Regular celery leaves and a little cilantro approximate it.

Technique notes

  • Cook the proteins in stages so the shrimp do not overcook while the chicken finishes.
  • Toss the sauce in at the very end so it coats rather than burns, since fermented tofu scorches easily.
  • Taste and adjust the sauce for the sweet-sour-funky balance before it ever hits the pan.

Ingredient swaps

Shellfish-free direction
Drop the shrimp and use extra chicken or squid so no shellfish is in the dish.
Vegetarian direction
Use tofu and mushrooms for protein and confirm the suki sauce uses no shrimp paste.
Gluten-free direction
Check that the fermented bean curd and any soy in the sauce are wheat-free, using tamari where needed.

Serve alongside

  • Steamed jasmine rice
  • Stir-fried morning glory
  • Cucumber salad
  • Tom yum soup
  • Thai iced tea
  • Chrysanthemum tea
  • Cold lager

Serving suggestions only — check pairings for your household's allergens.

Storage & reheating

  • Refrigerate up to two days in a sealed container. Reheat in a hot pan with a splash of water and a little extra sauce, since the noodles tighten as they sit. Freezing is not recommended because the glass noodles turn gummy on thaw.

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet
  • Blender or mortar and pestle for the sauce
  • Wide spatula
  • Fine-mesh strainer
