Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red chili flakes to the skillet and stir for an additional 30 seconds to release the flavor.
Stir in the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved and the sauce is bubbling slightly.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat with the sauce and spices. Ensure the noodles are evenly coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, mixing well.
Transfer the noodles to serving plates and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, flavorful noodles.
