Whatever you have lying around in the fridge. You could add in vegetables, chicken, meat, and seafood.

Do you cook noodles before stir fry?

Yes, you may. If you have the time, you could lightly blanch the noodles for 1 to 3 mins. Do not blanch the noodles too long as we do not want it to disintegrate or break off during the stir fry stage. Alternatively, you could also rinse the noodles under running water before adding them to the pan or wok.
