Ingredients

  • 6 oz noodles (ramen, rice noodles, or lo mein)
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
  • 1–2 tsp red chili flakes or 1 tbsp chili paste (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, fried egg, tofu, peanuts, stir-fried vegetables

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), rice vinegar or lime juice, sugar or honey, and chili flakes or chili paste.
  3. In a skillet or wok, heat neutral oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and fry until golden and crispy. Remove half for garnish.
  4. Add the sauce mixture to the garlic oil and let it bubble for 30 seconds.
  5. Add cooked noodles to the pan and toss until evenly coated and glossy.
  6. Drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and stir to combine.
  7. Serve hot, topped with reserved crispy garlic, chopped green onions, and any desired extras.

Notes

  • Adjust chili to taste for a milder or spicier dish.
  • Great with added stir-fried veggies or protein like tofu or egg.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Reheat leftovers with a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen the noodles.
