Ingredients

500 g / 1 lb fresh yellow or white noodles, medium thickness
2 tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut)

8 green onions, ends trimmed, cut into 7 cm / 2.5” lengths, white parts separated from green parts
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp mirin

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the toasted sesame oil, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and mirin in a small bowl to make the sauce.
Step 2: Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse quickly under tap water to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Heat the oil in a large deep non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir for 20 seconds. Add the garlic and stir for 10 seconds until lightly golden.

Step 4: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, then pour over the prepared sauce. Toss the mixture for about 1 1/2 minutes, allowing the noodles to caramelize slightly for deeper flavor.
Step 5: Add the green parts of the green onions and toss until just wilted, about 20 seconds. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For best results, use fresh noodles and avoid overcooking them to maintain a firm texture.

If mirin isn’t available, substitute with a mix of dry sherry and a pinch of sugar for sweetness.
Add cooked vegetables or proteins like shrimp or chicken to make this dish more substantial.

Storage

Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen the noodles and refresh the flavors.

FAQs

Can I use dried noodles instead of fresh?

Yes, you can substitute dried noodles, but be sure to cook them according to the package instructions and drain well before using. Fresh noodles provide a softer texture and are preferred if available.

Is oyster sauce necessary for this recipe?

Oyster sauce adds depth and sweetness, but if you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute it with mushroom sauce or additional soy sauce with a bit of sugar.
