6. To make your fried noodles, in a pot, add some hot water to rehydrate your noodles, soak for 3-4 minutes or according to packet instructions.
7. Once cooked, pour through a sieve and run under cold water. Set Aside.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the noodle sauce, light soy, dark soy, sugar and oyster sauce and set aside.
9. In a hot wok, add a tablespoon of oil. When hot, add in your scallion, onion and beansprouts, stir fry for 2minutes, then add in your cooked noodles and pour over the sauce. Using a chopstick and a pair of tongs, mix all the ingredients together. Divide the noodles into two bowls.
