Ingredients
Simple Noodle Sauce
- 2 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce Note 1
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce Note 2
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce Note 3
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt Note 4
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Soy Sauce Noodles
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced, Note 5
- 4 green onions finely chopped
- 4 packets instant noodles Note 6
Garnish (optional):
- green onions sliced
Instructions
- Noodle sauce: add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper to a glass jug and whisk to combine then set aside.
- Noodles: read and follow the packet instructions to cook the noodles. Then use a colander over the sink to drain them once cooked and discard the water.
- Garlic and green onions: place a large wok onto the stove top, turn the heat to high and add the peanut oil. Then add the sliced garlic and green onion pieces and cook for 1- 2 minutes until softened and the garlic has turned golden brown.
- Combine: add the cooked drained noodles to the wok with the garlic and green onions. Then pour the sauce over the top and use tongs to toss and consistently combine.
- To serve: portion into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions and provide chopsticks for serving.
Notes
- Note 1- Dark soy sauce: this will be in the same aisle at the supermarket and will say 'dark' or 'premium' soy sauce. Pick up the bottle and roll it around a little. You will see that the colour is darker, the consistency thicker and it is less hard to 'see through'.
- Note 2- Sriracha sauce: is hot stuff baby! If you are new to it, take it slowly, less is more!
- Note 3 - Fish sauce: the flavour mellows with this one in the wok. It is not 'too fishy'. Try it as it brings a unique Asian taste to the dish.
- Note 4 - Kosher salt: you can omit the additional salt if you don't enjoy a lot of salt in your food. The soy sauces are strong and salty, so again, less is more!
- Note 5 - Garlic: have a look at the photos to see how I slice the garlic. We want to do this for texture. Minced garlic or garlic from a jar won't cut it for this recipe!
- Note 6 - Noodles: you can use packet noodles, dried noodles, instant noodles or 2 minute noodles. Cook according to the packet instructions (but don't use the seasoning or dried bits of stuff in the packet).
