Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dried noodles (such as soba, udon, or spaghetti)
- 6 stalks scallions
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Boil a pot of water and cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the scallions by slicing them thinly, separating the whites from the greens.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the scallions are soft and fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss them in the sauce to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the noodles absorb the flavor.
Season with salt and black pepper. Toss in the sliced green parts of the scallions and mix well.
Transfer the scallion noodles to serving plates and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
Serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your delicious scallion noodles!
