15 MINUTE GARLIC FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak rice noodles in almost boiling water for 4 minutes until al dente. Drain then rinse with cold water to stop cooking and set aside.

• Add sugar and mix in until it's all incorporated. Add soy sauce and let simmer together for 1 minute.
• Add noodles and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes until noodles have fried and absorbed the sauce.
• Plate, top with more green onions, your favorite hot sauce or chili garlic sauce and enjoy!

FRIED GARLIC NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Loosen the noodles and add to the pot. When the water returns to a boil, the noodles should be nearly done (2 to 3 minutes; or follow the package directions). Check the noodles by taste or touch. They should be tender but springy. Drain thoroughly.
• In a wok or skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the garlic oil over high heat until shimmering-hot. Add the raw garlic, stir-frying until fragrant but not browned, a few seconds. Add the noodles and toss to coat. Add the shoyu, oyster sauce, and dashi powder and continue to stir-fry for another minute or two until the sauce is absorbed.
• Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the noodles to a serving plate or individual bowls. Reheat the fried garlic in the microwave until crispy, 10 to 15 seconds, keeping an eye (and a nose) on it so it doesn't burn.
• Garnish the noodles with scallions and fried garlic before serving. Top with sambal if desired.
