Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 500 g / 1 lb fresh yellow or white noodles (medium thickness)

Sauce

  • 2 tsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin (can substitute with sweet rice wine or a mix of sake and sugar)
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2 tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut)
  • 8 green onions, ends trimmed, cut into 7cm / 2.5” lengths, white parts separated from green parts
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, and toasted sesame oil until well combined to form the sauce.
  2. Cook Noodles: Boil the fresh noodles according to the package instructions until just tender. Drain and rinse quickly under cold running water to prevent sticking and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Aromatics: Heat the vegetable, canola, or peanut oil in a large, deep non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir for about 20 seconds to release their aroma. Add the finely chopped garlic and stir continuously for 10 seconds or until it turns a light golden color, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add Noodles and Sauce: Toss the drained noodles into the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over them. Stir and toss the noodles continuously for 1 1/2 minutes, allowing the noodles to slightly caramelize and absorb the flavors. If your stove burner is less powerful, extend this step to ensure a good caramelization.
  5. Finish with Green Onions: Add the green parts of the green onions and toss everything together until the onions are just wilted, approximately 20 seconds. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh medium-thickness yellow or white noodles for the best texture; if unavailable, dried noodles can be used but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Light soy sauce provides saltiness and umami while dark soy sauce adds color and density to the flavor; do not substitute both with one type to maintain balance.
  • Oyster sauce brings a rich savory depth; for vegetarians, mushroom-based oyster sauce is a good substitute.
  • Mirin adds sweetness and a mild tang; if unavailable, substitute with sweet rice wine or a mixture of sake and sugar.
  • To prevent noodles from sticking after boiling, rinse them quickly under cold water and drain well before stir-frying.
  • Maintaining high heat while tossing noodles helps achieve a slight caramelization that enhances the flavor profile significantly.
