  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz noodles (spaghetti, linguine, or ramen)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 red chilies, finely chopped (or chili flakes to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 green onion, chopped, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies (or chili flakes) and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, sugar, ground ginger, and water. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the garlic and chilies. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

Adjust the amount of chili to your preference. For a vegetarian option, omit the oyster sauce. You can add protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
