Ingredients

  • 500 g / 1 lb fresh yellow or white noodles, medium thickness
  • 2 tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut)
  • 8 green onions, ends trimmed and cut into 7 cm / 2.5” lengths, white parts separated from green parts
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mix the toasted sesame oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and mirin to create the sauce.
  2. Step 2: Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain them and rinse quickly under tap water to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir for about 20 seconds.
  4. Step 4: Add the chopped garlic and stir for an additional 10 seconds until lightly golden and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add the drained noodles to the skillet, then pour the prepared sauce over them. Toss continuously for 1½ minutes to allow the noodles to caramelize slightly, enhancing the flavor.
  6. Step 6: Add the green parts of the green onions and toss just until they wilt, about 20 seconds. Serve immediately while hot.

Tips & Variations

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute oyster sauce with mushroom sauce or hoisin sauce.
  • If fresh noodles aren’t available, dried noodles can be used but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Adding a pinch of chili flakes can give a nice spicy kick if desired.
  • Use a high-heat oil like peanut or canola for better stir-frying results.

Storage

Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until warmed through, adding a splash of water or oil to prevent drying out.

Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 500 g / 1 lb fresh yellow or white medium-thickness noodles

Sauce

  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin

Other Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (canola or peanut oil can be used)
  • 8 green onions (ends trimmed, cut into 7 cm / 2.5” lengths; white and green parts separated)
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, and toasted sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Cook the fresh noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and rinse briefly under running tap water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir-fry for about 20 seconds. Then add the chopped garlic and continue to stir for another 10 seconds or until the garlic turns light golden.
  4. Add Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, then pour the prepared sauce over them. Toss and stir-fry for about 1.5 minutes to allow the noodles to slightly caramelize, enhancing the flavor. If your stove is not very strong, you may need to cook a little longer.

Notes

  • Note 1: Use fresh yellow or white noodles of medium thickness for the best texture and flavor.
  • Note 2: Light soy sauce adds saltiness and seasoning, while dark soy sauce adds color and a richer umami flavor.
  • Note 3: Oyster sauce lends a slightly sweet and savory depth to the sauce mix.
  • Note 4: Mirin can be substituted with a mixture of 1 tbsp sake and 1 tsp sugar if unavailable.
  • Cooking Tip: Rinsing the noodles under cold water after cooking stops the cooking process and prevents them from sticking together.
