Add protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, or tofu) and stir-fry until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the cooked noodles to the wok, tossing to combine with vegetables and protein.

Drizzle soy sauce and oyster sauce over the noodles; mix well until evenly coated.

Add bean sprouts and peas; stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
