If you are using dried noodles, cook them as per the instructions and then refresh them in cold water.

Pour over the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, then mix and set aside whilst you prep the vegetables.
Peel and cut the ginger into batons as thinly as you can.
Peel and slice the garlic as thinly as you can.
De-seed the chilli peppers and cut them into thin ribbons.
