Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dried wheat noodles (or your choice of noodles)
- 100 grams fresh garlic chives, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 cup water (reserved from noodle cooking)
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, drain the noodles, and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the chopped garlic chives to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chives are slightly softened.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and reserved noodle cooking water to create the sauce.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, then pour the sauce over the noodles. Toss everything together with tongs or a spatula, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated.
If using chili flakes, sprinkle them in and toss again for a spicy kick.
Cook for 2-3 more minutes, allowing the sauce to cling to the noodles and the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat. Optionally, garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors of these garlic chives noodles!
