Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked noodles (250g), or 16 oz if packed in water
  • 3 tbsp oil, sesame, peanut, olive, avocado, etc.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup green onions (140g), sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (59ml), low-sodium
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru), or red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper, or black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • garnish: sesame seeds, green onions, cilantro

Instructions

  • Gather and prepare all of the ingredients. Heat a large pot or pan over medium heat.
  • Add the oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic. Sauté it for 1-2 minutes or until it's starting to turn golden-brown.
  • Promptly remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients except for the noodles and garnish.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package instructions in a separate pot. Toss them into the sauce until they are fully coated.
  • Garnish the noodles with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Have all of the ingredients prepared ahead of time because this cooks fast.
  • Let the garlic cook until it’s starting to darken, but don’t let it burn.
  • Go lighter on the chili flakes if you don't want the noodles as spicy.
  • Slightly undercook the noodles so they are able to soak up more of the sauce.
  • Toss in some veggies like broccoli or bell peppers.
