I actually turned this into a fried rice recipe, and it turned out great. Added more garlic, killed the ginger, and used leftover pork chops the night before. The sauce was delicious and was great even in rice.

These were very tasty noodles and I would definitely make them again. By mistake I added too many noodles, so I added a little extra sesame oil and oyster sauce but this mistake was mine and not the recipes. I think this recipe would adjust very well to whatever leftover meat or fresh veggies you had on hand. Thanks for such an easy recipe.
