3 tbsp vegetable oil
Visual Instructions:

2. Prepare sauce base by mixing chicken bouillon powder, salt, black pepper, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce and thick soy sauce in a bowl and set aside.
3. Once noodles are soaked, cut up the noodles with kitchen shears into smaller pieces then set aside for cooking.
4. Preheat a wok with cooking oil to medium high heat.
