Ingredients
300 g fresh noodles (see notes)
2 tablespoons neutral oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 green onions, cut lengthwise into 2-inch pieces
1 cup bean sprouts (or other vegetables)
1 teaspoon sesame oil (to finish)
Sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
½ tablespoon sugar
⅛ teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and water. Stir well and set aside.
Prep the Noodles
Prepare fresh noodles according to package instructions.
Rinse under cold water, drain thoroughly, and set aside.
Cook Aromatics
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions.
Stir-fry until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add Noodles
Add noodles to the pan and toss gently to combine with the aromatics.
Add Sauce & Caramelize
Pour in the prepared sauce.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until noodles absorb the sauce and begin to caramelize slightly.
Finish & Serve
Add bean sprouts and green onion tops.
Drizzle with sesame oil and toss briefly.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Fresh pre-cooked noodles provide the best texture and fastest results.
If using dried noodles, cook until just al dente before stir-frying.
Great noodle options include Hong Kong style noodles, Shanghai noodles, chow mein, egg noodles, udon, ramen, or yakisoba.
To prepare fresh noodles quickly: blanch in boiling water for a few seconds, loosen gently, rinse under cold water, and drain before stir-frying.
Add protein like chicken, shrimp, tofu, or beef for a heartier meal.
