Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, fresh wheat or egg noodles work beautifully and will cook much faster, usually in just 1 to 2 minutes.
Light soy sauce is preferred for its balanced saltiness. Avoid dark soy sauce as the primary sauce, as it is much thicker and stronger in flavor, and primarily used for color.
Tossing the cooked noodles immediately with a little sesame oil or the prepared sauce base is the most effective way to prevent sticking.
