1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp each sesame oil, sugar, and shaoxing wine or dry sherry
1/2 tsp each salt and white pepper

3 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

1. Prepare vegetables. Set aside. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil Mix the soy sauces, sesame oil, sugar, wine, salt, and white pepper together. Set aside.
2. Boil the noodles for about 3 minutes. Drain well and rinse in cold water.
3. Heat a large non stick skillet or wok to high. Add one tablespoon oil. Spread the noodles in a thin layer (work in batches if needed). Get a light crisp about 4 to 5 minutes on one side then flip adding another tbsp of oil. Once noodles are all lightly crisp transfer to a plate and set aside.
