Notes

Tips and Tricks

 
Prepare all ingredients before cooking to make the process smoother.
Cook the noodles al dente and drain them well before stir-frying.
Stir-fry the ingredients over high heat to retain their crunchiness and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Adjust the level of spiciness to your preference by adding more or less chili paste.
