Notes

No wok required. There’s no need to buy a wok to make this recipe. Just use an extra large skillet instead with a surface big enough to properly toss all the ingredients.
Use fresh ginger and garlic. Minced garlic and grated ginger that you can find sold in jars do not add the same level of delicious aromatic flavor.
Remove from the skillet. Do not leave the noodles in the warm pan once they have been tossed together with the meat and sauce. You don’t want them to dry out.
These noodles will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, sprinkle them with a bit of water and just pop them in the microwave for a few minutes on medium power or on the stovetop in a pan.
