Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 11 ounces (300 grams) dried ribbon noodles
- 1/2 cup scallions (white part), thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
- 1 tablespoon Korean chilli powder/flakes (e.g., Gochugaru)
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil (e.g., grapeseed oil)
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth (low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup scallions (green part), thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Extra chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a small skillet over low heat, carefully adding cooking oil, white scallion segments, and finely minced garlic. Gently sauté for 5 minutes, continuously stirring to prevent scorching.
- Pour vegetable broth, light and dark soy sauces, black vinegar, and Korean chilli powder into the skillet. Elevate heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, periodically stirring to meld flavors.
- Bring a separate pot of water to a rolling boil and cook noodles according to package guidelines until perfectly al dente. Drain completely, shaking off excess water.
- Transfer the drained noodles into the spicy garlic sauce, using tongs to ensure each strand is thoroughly coated and glistening with the aromatic sauce.
- Artfully scatter green scallion tops, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, and add an optional dusting of extra chilli flakes for heightened heat. Serve immediately while piping hot for maximum flavor impact.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting Korean chilli powder quantity for mild or spicy preferences.
- Ensure low, gentle heat when sautéing garlic and scallions to prevent burning and maintain delicate flavors.
- Swap wheat noodles with gluten-free alternatives like rice or zucchini noodles for dietary restrictions.
- Toast sesame seeds beforehand in a dry skillet for enhanced nutty aroma and deeper flavor profile.
