Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
2 teaspoons sesame oil
-
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper chili flakes, or to taste
-
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
-
1 green onion, white part only, finely chopped
-
5 ounces dry wheat noodles
-
1 teaspoon black sesame seeds
-
3 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil (see Cook's Note)
-
1 tablespoon sliced green onions
Directions
-
Stir soy sauce, garlic, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili flakes, brown sugar, chicken bouillon powder, and white part of the green onion in a small bowl. Set aside.
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in noodles and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes or according to package directions. Drain well and leave noodles in the pot. Pour the chili-garlic sauce over the noodles, and mix well.
-
Meanwhile, heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and toast until seeds are fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When really hot, carefully pour over the noodle mixture, and toss until all noodles are evenly coated.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. To serve, divide noodles between two bowls, and garnish with green onion slices and toasted sesame seeds.
Cook's Notes:
You can use any neutral oil in this recipe, including vegetable, canola, avocado, or peanut oil.
If you don’t have wheat noodles, rice noodles are a good substitute, or use any noodles or pasta that you have on hand. My wheat noodles take only 3 minutes, so you may need to adjust your cooking time depending on the type of noodle you use.
