Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dry Chinese egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 stalks green onions, sliced
- 4 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 100 grams bean sprouts (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the Chinese egg noodles according to the package instructions (usually 4–5 minutes). Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the hot wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked noodles to the wok. Toss the noodles using tongs or chopsticks to evenly distribute the onions and garlic.
Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats all noodles evenly.
If using bean sprouts, add them to the wok and stir-fry for an additional minute until they are slightly softened but still crunchy.
Remove the wok from the heat and serve the noodles immediately. Garnish with additional sliced green onions, if desired.
