4. Stir fry for another 5 minutes, add the green peas, soy sauce, salt, and pepper and fry for another 2 minutes.
5. Remove the pan from the heat, add the sliced spring onions, minced parsley, and rice noodles.
6. Drizzle everything with sesame oil, put into bowls, and serve sprinkled with black sesame seeds.
