Marinate the chicken and prawns with 1 Tbsp light soy sauce and the sesame oil. Set aside while all other ingredients are prepped.. Rinse the noodles in a bowl under running water till the oily residue washes off. Add some warm water and rinse once more. (If using dried noodles, follow package instructions). Keep drained.. Have all fresh ingredients, and sauce ingredients ready by the time the wok is hot. Heat the wok.. Add 1 1½ Tbsp cool oil to the wok and swirl to coat the wok.. Spread the noodles over the wok and fry gently. Add 1 Tbsp light soy sauce and coat well. Set aside the noodles and wipe the wok clean.. Heat a wok again gradually, on a low-medium flame, until smoking.. Add remaining oil to the wok.. Immediately add the sliced, garlic, ginger and spring onion. Fry for 5 seconds..

Once the soup has come to a boil, add the cornflour slurry ( made by mixing together 3 1/2 Tbsp cornflour with 5 Tbsp water, till completely dissolved. ). After adding the slurry, Wait for the soup to thicken slightly.. Now, take a long wooden ladle and stir the soup in circular motions - in one direction to create a whirlpool effect.. Then reduce the heat to a very gently simmer, and pour in the lightly beaten eggs in a circle over the soup.. Stir again with the ladle, gently and slowly in one direction.
