Ingredients

• 200 grams dried wheat noodles
• 100 grams fresh chives
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 2 liters water for boiling

Directions

Step 1

Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the dried wheat noodles according to the package instructions (typically 6-8 minutes). Once cooked, drain the noodles, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, wash and pat dry the fresh chives. Chop them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.

Step 6

Add the chopped chives to the skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 7

Lower the heat slightly, then add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss well with the chives and garlic.

Step 8

Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the noodles. Sprinkle with salt, ground black pepper, and red chili flakes. Toss everything together to combine, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 9

Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and start to absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives or a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired.
