Set aside.
- Sear your choice of protein over medium heat. If you are using shrimp, take it out of the pan after searing so as not to over cook it.
- Add a little more oil and toss in the garlic, onion, dried shrimps, tofu and chili flakes. Saute for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Increase the heat and toss in noodles and sauce. Keep tossing until sauce has been absorbed. You may add a little water if the noodles is undercooked.
