Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package instructions (or until just tender). Drain them and rinse with cold water to stop cooking — then drain again.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), sugar, and water. Keep ready.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil & Sauté Garlic: In a large pan or wok, heat oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic (and chopped green onion whites if using) and sauté until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add Noodles: Add the drained noodles to the pan. Stir well to coat with oil and garlic

  5. 5

    Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles. Stir and toss gently until noodles are evenly coated and sauce is absorbed or slightly reduced.

  6. 6

    Add Veggies (Optional): If using vegetables — add them either before or after noodles depending on cooking time. Stir-fry until vegetables are cooked but still slightly crisp. Then mix with noodles.

  7. 7

    Finish & Serve: Once everything is well mixed and hot, transfer to a plate. Garnish with chopped green onion tops or sesame seeds if you like. Serve hot.
