Notes

  • Prepare everything first – Having all the ingredients ready makes cooking smooth and easy.
  • Stir-fry the aromatics – Sauté garlic and green onion to release their flavors.
  • Cook down the tomatoes – Let them soften and reduce slightly before adding the broth. This intensifies their sweetness and removes any sharp acidity.
  • Cook your noodles right in the broth – This helps them absorb more flavor.
  • Toasted sesame oil at the end – Stir it in at the very end to preserve its aroma.
  • Taste & adjust – Balance the flavors with salt, soy sauce, and oyster sauce as needed.
