If using fresh hor fun noodles, you can use it straight away without any preparation. If using hor fun that has been refrigerated, I usually steam them for about 5 minutes or until they are soft and let them cool down and separate the strands of noodles
If using dried hor fun, boil them in water until they are soft (following instruction on the package) and then drain off water and immediately toss with oil to prevent them from sticking. Spread them on a baking pan to let it cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before using
Combine all ingredients for seasonings and set aside while you prepare other things

Combine all the ingredients in a jar and stir until sugar dissolves. Let it cool down completely at room temperature and then seal it and store it in the fridge. They can last indefinitely

Marinate the pork slices with marinade for meat ingredients for 15 minutes at room temperature of up to 24 hours in the fridge
Cut the Chinese broccoli stalks into half if they are big stalks. Preferably about 1/2 inch in width

Preheat your wok or large pan on a high heat until it is hot. You can see smoke starting to rise. Add cooking oil and swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the wok or pan
Add the pork slices and spread them into one layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds and then stir fry to cook until they are almost done. Remove from the wok/pan into a clean plate

To the same wok/pan, scrape off any bits and pieces off the wok/pan from cooking the meat earlier. Add 1 Tbsp of oil and add gai lan. Stir fry for about 1 minute until the veggies are tender but still crisp. Remove from the heat and transfer to the plate where you put the pork slices

Add the rest of the oil and heat them up until really hot. Crack in the eggs and let them cook undisturbed for about 10 seconds and then scramble into large chunks. Add the garlic and stir fry for about 10 seconds
Add hor fun followed by seasonings, the precooked pork and veggies and stir fry to gently combine everything. Make sure the seasonings coats everything evenly
Have a taste and add more seasonings such as soy sauce or fish sauce if necessary. Transfer immediately to a serving plate and serve with some Thai chili powder, some sprinkle of sugar (my Thai friends eat it like this), and prik nam som
