04 - Add more oil to wok. Stir-fry garlic, ginger, and red onion for 1 minute until fragrant and onions begin to soften.

# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything happens in one pan, meaning less cleanup and more time eating
- The sweet and spicy sauce clings to every strand of noodle perfectly
02 -
- Overcrowding the wok will make everything steam instead of fry, so cook in batches if your pan isn't big enough
- Cold water rinsed noodles are essential, otherwise they continue cooking and become mushy when you add them back to the pan
03 -
- Toasting your sesame seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before garnishing makes them noticeably more aromatic
- Adding the sauce around the edges of the wok instead of directly on top helps it heat through faster and coat more evenly
