• If you don't have sesame oil, you can use olive oil instead.
• If you want a spicier stir-fry, add a pinch of chili powder or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• This dish is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, cook the noodles and stir-fry separately. When ready to serve, reheat the stir-fry and add the noodles.
