Notes
- You can double up the amount of sauce used if you like soupier noodles, I prefer the egg noodles a bit drier, so they can be served with a good stir fry like chicken and cashew stir fry.
- You can use any other noodles if you wish, not just egg noodles, instant noodles can be used to, just throw away any of the packets of oil and powder mix they come with, we don't need them for this recipe.
