Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add egg noodles.
Cook until the noodles are tender, about 6 minutes.
Drain then toss with 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil. Set aside.
Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, vinegar, lime juice, chile flakes, and remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small bowl to make a sauce; set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil in a wok or large skillet just until smoking.
Add noodles, reduce heat, and brown one side until firm and slightly golden, about 4 minutes.
Turn over, heat 1 more tablespoon peanut oil and brown other side.
Transfer to a large plate and set aside.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon peanut oil in the same wok.
Add garlic and onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add ginger, celery, carrot, snow peas, mushrooms and bean sprouts and cook on high heat, stirring constantly, until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Add reserved sauce and cook until vegetables are tender but still crunchy, about 2 minutes.
Serve over noodles.
