Once the noodles is boiled, immediately drain the water carefully and transfer the noodles to a large frying pan.

In a large sized frying pan or skillet, place the frozen stir fry vegetables.
Cook in low to medium heat until the ice melts and water evaporates (once the ice from frozen veggies melts, make sure to gently mix in between).
Once the water is all evaporated, add sesame oil and enough salt, mix well to combine with the veggies and stir fry the vegetables for about 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are lightly cooked but still crunchy in texture (stir in between!).
Once it is done, add the stir fry sauce, mix well with the stir fry vegetables to coat evenly and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes in low heat to make the best stir fry veggies using the frozen mix!
