Be careful of oil splatters when pan-frying with oil, use tongs or a spatula to maintain a safe distance.

Start with a cold wok, add 1/3 cup cold oil, turn to medium-high heat, coat the sides of the wok with oil, and test oil temperature with chopsticks until bubbles form. Add noodles, flatten, fry until set without browning, remove excess oil. Flip and fry on medium-high heat until golden and crispy on both sides, then remove excess oil and take out.
