pointers
 Cooking
oil
If you don't have sesame oil, substitute vegetable oil. Some type of oil is
essential, because it helps keep the noodles from sticking together as they cook
and as they sit in the serving bowl.
Cooking
time
Do not overcook the noodles in step 2 or they will become mushy.
Tossing
When stir-frying in steps 4 and 5, constantly toss the ingredients in the oil
in the bottom of the wok.
Black
beans
Black bean sauce may be substituted for the black beans if it is not overly
seasoned.
