Spicy pan-fried noodles

In s small bowl, combine scallions, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine or vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Let stand while you prepare the noodles.

In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until they are halfway done. Drain well and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil and spread them out on a plate or baking sheet.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden around edges, 1-2 minutes.

Add half the scallion mixture and stir-fry 1 minute.

Add noodles; stir-fry until hot and lightly coated with sauce, about 30 seconds.

Add eggs, spinach or edamame, hot sauce, and remaining scallion mixture. Continue to stir-fry until the eggs are cooked, 1-2 minutes longer.

Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.

Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds or peanuts.
