Add the noodles, followed by the oyster sauce. Depending on how wet the noodles are, add a few tablespoons of chicken stock and continue to move the noodles around the wok for another few minutes, adding more stock if necessary. Finish with sesame oil and cilantro, stir until combined and serve immediately.
