Notes
To make this recipe vegan, use vegan noodles. Replace honey with brown sugar and butter with oil. Skip adding fish sauce.
I used stir-fry noodles, but you can select from various noodles such as rice noodles, udon noodles, soba noodles, ramen noodles, linguine, etc.
Just cook them 1 minute less than the package instructions. Make sure not to overcook the noodles; otherwise, they will turn mushy.
To make a non-vegetarian version of this recipe, add stir-fried chicken, shrimp, bacon, etc. You can also scramble eggs and add them to the noodles.
