• 3 cup bean sprouts
• 1 cup bamboo shoots (julienned sliced thinly in strips)

1. In a large pot on high heat, bring 10 cups of water to boil. Cook noodles in boiling water until tender or “al-dente,” approximately 5 - 7 minutes, drain and set aside.

3. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to wok, add vegetables, and stir-fry until just cooked, about 5 to 7 minutes.
4. Return noodles to the wok, add salt, sugar and soy sauce.
