Recipe Notes

I like Ottogi Korean sesame oil in chow mein and noodle soup dishes.

This recipe uses 40g (soaked and drained weight) of thin lucky boat noodles.  This is about 1/5th of an average nest of dry noodles and you'll have to soak an entire block.  Leftover soaked and drained noodles can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 days for use in future chow mein or noodle soup dishes.
