Fresh Chinese egg noodles are found in the Asian section of most well-stocked markets. The noodles are yellow in color and made from wheat flour and eggs.

Add the egg noodles, stir well and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain noodles in a colander, transfer to a medium mixing bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Set aside.
Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add the oil and swirl to coat. Add onion and cook, stirring and tossing occasionally, until slightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Return the noodles back to the wok and add the soy sauce, hoisin and vinegar and stir-fry until the noodles are well coated.
