Notes

This recipe has quite a few components but all of them cook very fast. To succeed at this recipe I recommend getting every ready, chopped and sliced before the actual cooking begins.

You will also save yourself from getting overwhelmed if you measure out and mix the sauce ingredients beforehand as well.

If you are using pork or any other meat, make sure to slice it very thinly for the authentic taste. Thinly sliced meat will also cook within a couple of minutes.
Cook your scrambled eggs into large pieces. They will break up when mixed into the noodles, so we don't want them to turn into a mush.
