Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 200 grams Noodles e.g., ramen, spaghetti, or egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Red Chilli Flakes adjust to taste
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce optional
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 scallions Green Onions chopped, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds toasted, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little of the pasta water.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, sugar, and water. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and red chilli flakes and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles.
- Toss well to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coated the noodles.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for extra color and nutrients. A squeeze of lime juice at the end can add a refreshing tang.
