Notes
- Noodles - I used "ready to stir-fry" noodles which doesn't require any cooking prior to adding to the pan. Chow mein noodles is preferred in this recipe. But you can use your favorite type of noodles.
- Soy sauce - If dark soy sauce is not available, add more regular soy sauce.
- Sesame oil - Use sesame oil for authentic taste.
