Notes
Ensure you prepare all the vegetables ahead, so they’re ready to go when you need to throw them into the wok.
Use a large wok to get the best results. If you use a wok that is too small, it won’t be easy to toss all the ingredients together, and your vegetables won’t cook as quickly as if you were stir-frying them on a larger one.
You can add any types of veggies. Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand. Bell peppers or broccolis go very well with this recipe too.
Rinse the noodles in cold water. Make sure you rinse your noodles in cold water after cooking them. It will keep them loose and stop the cooking process.
