Notes
- Spaghetti can replace Chinese-style egg noodles if unavailable.
- If fish sauce is missing, substitute by doubling soy sauce or mixing soy sauce with rice, white, or cider vinegar plus a pinch of salt.
- This dish can be prepared up to two days in advance; reheat by tossing in a skillet with a small amount of water to prevent sticking and restore texture.
