Instructions
- Soak your noodles in water according to package labeling.
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, sprinkle in salt, and whisk. Heat up your pan over medium heat and let the egg mixture cook for about 2 minutes, then flip. Once cooked, slice the omelet into thin strips.
- Caramelize the sugar by warming oil at medium-low heat and then adding sugar. Cook until it achieves a light golden color.
- Add garlic and sauté for a brief period until it releases aroma.
- Cease the caramelization by adding water. Following, add oyster sauce, golden mountain, and the optional dark soy sauce.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly and allow it to come to a gentle boil.
- Add the pre-soaked noodles into the wok, stirring until the noodles have absorbed most of the liquid and are cooked al dente.
- Remove the noodles from the heat and place then in a bowl to cool.
- Let the noodles rest until cool. Add chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, bean sprouts, and egg strips, combining all ingredients with a gentle toss. Serve immediately.
