Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 14 ounces dried wheat or egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • Vegetable oil, 1 to 2 tablespoons
  • 6 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 6 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons toasted white sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water until cool. Set aside.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and maple syrup or honey. Stir well to mix and set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then add the finely chopped garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Stir continuously for about 30 seconds until fragrant, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn.
  4. Add Sauce and Noodles: Immediately pour in the prepared hoisin sauce mixture, then add the drained noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together thoroughly until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
  5. Crisp Noodles: Allow the noodles to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until they start sticking to the pan and the bottom turns crispy. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Transfer the noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with toasted white sesame seeds and the green parts of the scallions. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the noodles and soy sauce accordingly.
  • Adjust the sweetness by using maple syrup or honey according to your taste preference.
  • Watch the garlic closely when sautéing to avoid burning and bitterness.
  • You can add protein such as cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to make a complete meal.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
