Notes

  1.  I get Shanghai egg noodles from the refrigerated section of my local Asian market. Most major grocery stores carry fresh Asian style noodles in the refrigerated section of the produce area.
  2. Sesame noodles stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, which makes this dish great for meal prep.
