Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 200g noodles (spaghetti, ramen, or rice noodles)
Sauce
- 3 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 2 tbsp chili oil (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Optional: 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles: Cook noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Make the Garlic Chili Oil: Heat sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook gently until fragrant and golden, avoiding burning. Stir in chili oil and heat briefly to blend flavors.

- Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for freshness and crunch. Serve immediately to enjoy the full vibrant taste.
