This is a beloved everyday dish in Chinese home cooking. Tossing the soaked glass noodles with oil and dark soy sauce before stir-frying keeps them from clumping and seasons them from the start. The recipe notes that a little dried chili or fresh bird's eye chili can be added for a mildly spicy version.
