Heat 2 teaspoons of the grapeseed oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg whites and tilt and swirl the pan so they cover the bottom in an even layer. Turn the heat to low and cook until the whites set, for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 30 seconds on the other side. Remove to a cutting board. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons grapeseed oil to the pan and put over medium-high heat. Add the egg yolks and tilt and swirl the pan so they cover the bottom in an even layer. Cook until the yolks are set, for 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 minute on the other side. Remove to a cutting board. Fold each egg pancake into thirds and slice into very thin strips.

Toss the hot noodles with tongs in a large mixing bowl with the sesame oil. Drizzle in the soy sauce and toss, coating the noodles well. Scatter in the garlic and mix well. Then add all the vegetables and mix with the tongs (or your hands if not too hot) to really get the vegetables and noodles integrated. Sprinkle in the scallions, honey, and sesame seeds and toss well. Transfer to a serving bowl and scatter the egg slices on top.
