Note

For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine.

Ensure the orange juice is fresh or high-quality concentrate for the best flavor profile.

This dish is best served immediately while the noodles are hot and the sauce is glossy.

If the sauce seems too thin, simmer for an additional minute before adding the noodles.
