Notes
- Some chopped vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, etc can be added to this noodle. But I have kept it simple without adding any vegetables.
- Toasted sesame oil gives a nice flavor to the noodles. So don’t skip that.
- The addition of sugar is optional.
- The recipe takes less than 10 minutes if the noodle is already boiled.
