Can someone direct me to a rice noodle recipe that will turn

You talking about those clear noodle soups at the back of the buffets with all those meatballs and whatever topping?

Pretty sure the soup is just a basic chicken stock brah

No, it's like stir fried rice but with cabbage, celery, onions, carrots, fried egg, and sometimes chicken in the nicer places. I cant find what seasoning or sauce I'm supposed to add to it.

Tonight's attempt at making it was yet another disaster which is why I'm here. I'd have been better off skipping cooking it and just taking a swig out of the soy sauce bottle.

Itsa a secret spicey, you whities not allowed to know. Itsa our secret, you understand?

So it's a stir-fried rice noodle recipe? The most common ones are curry-based. Usually it's some type of yellow curry. You can probably find packaged curry and substitute the sauce for that in your stir fry.
The other possibility is a brown sauce, in which case it could be some mixture of soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce.

I don't know which it would be but I'll give the curry suggestion a try since the soy sauce ones turn out so wrong.

Mei Fun?

that looks right except for the seeds

If it is what I think it is, then believe it or not, there is no seasoning. It's just Chinese chicken stock, usually from powder. Try that in place of soy sauce next time.
If it's the other thing I think it is, then it's sweet soy sauce (kecap manis). But since Indonesians don't tend to run buffets, I'm inclined to assume that it's the Chinese chicken stock thing.

I've had it with and without those. Wish I had a recipe I could say tastes just like the one you'll find at a Chinese buffet but I've never tried making it before.

>Chinese chicken stock
do i cook the noodles in that or add it as a sauce?

>>7950238
Just having the right name is an improvement, thanks. The buffets always just scribble rice noodles on a slip of paper and tape it to the sneeze guard

I use sesame seeds on most of my noodle dishes. Its gold.

Soak the noodles in boiling water a bit until it's just about halfway done, then drain.
Cook the stir fry, add the noodles and top with Chinese chicken stock and finish them in there until they absorb the stock and cook through.
That's it.
Lemme look up a picture for you of the result and you tell me if that's the one you're talking about. Gimme a sec.

Here you go. Is this it? This one is called either bihun goreng cina (Chinese fried rice-noodles) or bihun goreng putih (white fried rice-noodles) to differentiate it from regular bihun goreng, which is made with the sweet soy sauce I mentioned earlier, lending it a brown, caramel-like colour.
This one is made either with Chinese chicken stock or just salt.

That looks right, >>7950228 also looks right. I'm pretty sure its not the sweet soy sauce variant because it's not a sweet dish (unless I've made an incorrect assumption about sweetness) and the noodles are usually still light colored so I'll give the chinese chicken stock a try. You've been very helpful, thank you, and thanks everyone else aswel.
