# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 oz plain wheat noodles (frozen udon, instant ramen, or Taiwanese sliced options)
02 -
3 cloves garlic, chopped fine
03 -
½ tbsp chili flakes (try Gochugaru or Sichuan style)
04 -
1 green onion, cut into tiny bits
05 -
½ tsp apple cider vinegar (or try Chinese black vinegar or rice vinegar instead)
06 -
1 tsp dark soy sauce
07 -
½ tsp regular soy sauce
08 -
½ tsp chicken stock powder
09 -
¼ tsp white sugar
10 -
1 tsp sesame seeds
11 -
3 tbsp plain cooking oil (any mild flavor works)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Fill a pot halfway with water and let it come to a boil on medium-high. Toss in noodles and cook until just tender, about 2-3 minutes or follow what's on the package. Drain well and put them in a big bowl made of metal, glass, or ceramic.
02 -
Drop the regular soy sauce, dark soy, your vinegar choice, chopped garlic, chicken stock powder, white sugar, green onion bits, chili flakes, and sesame seeds right in the middle of your noodle pile.
03 -
Pour your cooking oil in a little pot and warm it up on medium-high. Wait until you see smoke rising, then quickly take it off the heat and pour it straight over the onions, garlic, and chili flakes to gently cook them.
04 -
Grab some chopsticks or food tweezers and mix everything really well until all the flavors blend together. Eat it right away and throw on extra green onions and sesame seeds if you want.
# Additional Notes:

Want more kick? Just add a tiny splash of toasted sesame oil right before you dig in.
