Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 10 oz fresh noodles*
- 1/4 cup neutral oil*
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Sauce:
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan chili flakes*
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds plus more for garnish, if desired
- 1/8 teaspoon 5-spice seasoning
- 2 teaspoons black vinegar optional
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil and cook noodles according to the package's directions. Drain and if you prefer to have cold noodles, run the noodles under cold water. Set aside.
- Reheat the pot with the neutral oil until it’s hot, about 1 - 2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a heat-proof bowl, combine the seasonings. Carefully, pour the oil over the seasonings and allow it to sizzle.
- Toss in noodles and mix well. Finish with green onions and more sesame seeds on top, if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Notes
- 5-Spice Seasoning:
- Noodles: I used knife cut wheat noodles, but you can use hand-pulled or even instant ramen noodles.
- Neutral Oil: Use grapeseed, peanut, canola, or vegetable oil to avoid altering the dish's flavor. Avoid strongly flavored oils like olive oil.
- Chili Flakes: Adjust the spice level with Sichuan chili flakes or mild gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Coarse texture prevents burning compared to powdered flakes. Avoid Italian crush red pepper flakes.
- Dark Soy Sauce vs Regular/Light: Dark soy sauce adds deep color and sweetness, while regular/light soy sauce adds saltiness. Available at Asian markets or online.
- 5-Spice Seasoning: A little goes a long way to give the noodles a subtle warmth.
- Black Vinegar: Optional but adds a refreshing acidity to the sauce. Find it at Asian markets or online.
