4. Push veggies to the side, crack in the egg, and scramble until cooked.
5. Add noodles, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and seasoning packet (if using). Toss everything together.
6. Stir-fry on high heat for 1–2 minutes until noodles are coated and slightly caramelized.
7. Finish with spring onions, a squeeze of lime, and garnish with fried shallots.

• Toasted peanuts or crushed cashews add crunch.
