   • In a bowl, combine the pork or chicken with soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch.
   • Mix thoroughly to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the marinade.
   • Allow it to marinate for approximately 20 minutes to enhance the flavors.

2. Prepare Noodles:

   • Cook the noodles according to package instructions until tender. If using fresh noodles, cook for about 5 minutes.
   • Drain the cooked noodles and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
   • Rinse the noodles again to remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.

3. Prepare Egg Strips:

   • Lightly beat the eggs until they are well mixed but still slightly runny.
   • Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet to make a thin omelet.
   • Once cooked, remove the omelet from the pan and cut it into thin strips. Set aside for later use.

4. Stir-Fry Meat:

   • Heat a little oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the marinated pork or chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until fully cooked.
   • Once cooked, remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside for later.

5. Cook Vegetables:

   • In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed.
   • Add the scallions to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
   • Next, add the bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, and spinach to the skillet.
   • Season the vegetables with a touch of salt for added flavor.

6. Combine Ingredients:

   • Return the cooked meat and egg strips to the skillet with the vegetables.
   • Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
   • If the mixture seems dry, add a little water to moisten it and prevent it from sticking.

7. Final Assembly:

   • Stir in the cooked noodles, ensuring they are well coated with the flavorful sauce and ingredients.
   • Continue to heat the noodles until they are thoroughly heated through.
   • Serve the Ten Variety Fried Noodles hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this Asian-inspired dish.
