How to Make Supreme Soy Noodles
Ingredients
- 500 g / 1 lb fresh yellow or white noodles (medium thickness, see Note 1)
- 2 tbsp oil (vegetable, canola, or peanut)
- 8 green onions (ends trimmed, cut into 7cm / 2.5” lengths, white parts separated from green parts)
- 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp sesame oil (toasted sesame oil)
- 2 tsp light soy sauce (Note 2)
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (Note 2)
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce (Note 3)
- 1 tbsp mirin (Note 4 for subs)
Directions
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together.
- Cook Noodles: Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Once done, drain them and give a quick rinse under tap water to prevent them from sticking.
- Sauté Garlic: Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir for about 20 seconds. Add the chopped garlic and stir for another 10 seconds until it turns light golden.
- Add Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over them. Toss the noodles for about 1.5 minutes. This step is important—let the noodles caramelize slightly for better flavor. If your stove isn’t very strong, you may need to cook them a bit longer.
- Add Green Onions: Finally, add in the green onion tops and toss everything together until just wilted, around 20 seconds. Serve immediately.
How to Serve Supreme Soy Noodles
These noodles are best served hot. You can plate them up and sprinkle some extra green onions or sesame seeds on top for added garnish. They pair well with a side of stir-fried vegetables or crispy fried tofu for a complete meal.
How to Store Supreme Soy Noodles
If you have leftovers, let the noodles cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply toss them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or oil until warmed through.
Tips to Make Supreme Soy Noodles
- Make sure to follow the cooking time on the noodle packet for the best texture.
