Ingredients
- Fresh noodles (such as Hong Kong-style, Shanghai noodles, chow mein, or egg noodles)
- Neutral oil (like vegetable, avocado, peanut, canola, grapeseed, sunflower, or corn oil)
- Garlic
- Green onion
- Bean sprouts
- Soy sauce
- Dark soy sauce
- Sugar
- White pepper (or black pepper)
- Water
- Sesame oil
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Noodle Preparation: If you're using fresh noodles, quickly blanch them in boiling water or even hot tap water to loosen. Drain them in a colander once loosened and set aside for stir-frying.
- Stir Fry: Heat neutral oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add finely chopped garlic and green onions and sauté until aromatic.
- Sauce: Mix together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, white or black pepper, and water to create the savory sauce.
- Combine: Add the prepped noodles to the pan with the sautéed aromatics. Pour the mixed sauce over the noodles, tossing until the noodles are well coated.
- Final Touches: Introduce the bean sprouts to the pan, stir well until they're just heated through. Finish by drizzling sesame oil over the noodles, adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds for garnish.
Optional Add-ons
- Customize with added proteins like chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, scallops, or tofu.
- Include additional vegetables such as mushrooms, bok choy, onions, bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, peas, or broccoli.
- For a kick of heat, incorporate crushed red pepper or Gochugaru into the sauce, fry up fresh or dried chilies with the aromatics, or garnish with chili oil.
