Ingredients

• 300 grams dried wheat noodles (or your preferred noodles)
• 6 stalks scallions (green onions), finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
• 2000 milliliters water (for boiling noodles)
• 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling water)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until they are just al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the neutral cooking oil and let it heat up for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the chopped scallions to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the scallions soften and become fragrant.

Step 6

Lower the heat and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and toss everything together using tongs or chopsticks until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the red chili flakes over the noodles for a bit of heat. Mix well.

Step 8

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are warmed through and the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Garlic Scallion Noodles immediately. Enjoy your meal!
