Step 4

To soften and  loosen the noodles, blanch in the boiling water to 1-2 mins. Drain it and set aside. (Cook noodles by the packet instructions.  I've used fresh Shanghai noodles in this recipe,  if you can not find fresh Shanghai noodles, you can use  straight to wok Udon noodles or any thick round noodles instead. )
