Notes
I am using Shanghai Noodles today that you can find that T&T Supermarket, but you can also use other noodles you like. Some noodles that I recommend are Yellow stir-fry noodles or udon noodles. Cook the noodles based on instruction, rinse with cold water, and set aside. If you use frozen udon, pour hot water over the udon and let it side for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water before stir-fry.
