Instructions
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, tossing with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the red chili flakes and ground Szechwan peppercorns, stirring for another 15-20 seconds to release their flavors.
Stir in the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chili oil. Mix well and allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat with the sauce.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the noodles and toss again to combine evenly.
Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and garnish with additional sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors of Szechwan cuisine!
