If you need to pre-cook your noodles, do that at this time. For rice noodles, I like to drain and then rinse under cold water before adding them to the sauce.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the sauce. Next, add in your noodles and mix sauce and noodles together as best as you can. If you are using a pre-cooked noodle, like I did, you may want to cover with the lid for a minute or two to help the noodles warm up so they are easier to break apart. Use a spatula, or some tongs, to help loosen up the noodles and then cook them with the sauce for another minute or two, until the sauce is thickened and coating the noodles.
