Arrange the noodles at the back of the pan, on the side opposite the handle. Add the mushrooms on the handle side, then the soya beans on top. The vegetable stock will help to ensure that the noodles don't dry out. You can use any type of stock, but we recommend a dark soy sauce for the best flavour.
