Notes
* If you are adding other protein, cook those first before the vegetables. For example, if you add sliced pork belly, saute the pork belly in medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until crispy. Remove the pork belly and continue on steps 2-3 with pork belly oil. Add back in the pork belly before step 4 and continue with the rest of the steps.
** Depending on what brand of noodles you use, you may need to blanch the noodles with hot water for 2-3 minutes or until noodles are separated. Drain and rinse with cold water before adding it to the pan to saute. This step will prevent the noodles from getting soggy
