Soak noodles according to box directions.
Mix oyster sauce, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Fish Sauce, garlic and sugar in a medium bowl. Add pork or chicken and mix well. Set aside to marinate, while noodles are soaking.

Add 2 tablespoons of oil to skillet. Add drained noodles (pat dry to avoid splatter) and sweet soy sauce. Stir-fry until tender. Push noodles to side and add eggs. Scramble in pan, adding more oil if necessary and add to bok choy.
