Pro Tips for the Best Results

Toss or Stir Halfway Through Cooking

Helps evenly heat the noodles and prevent sticking or clumping.

Cook in a Single Layer for Best Texture

Spreading everything out helps the noodles stay light and prevents sogginess.

Optional: Add a Drizzle of Sauce After Cooking

A little extra soy sauce, sesame oil, or sriracha can enhance the flavor once heated.
