Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 11 oz dried ribbon noodles (300g)

Sauce

  • 1½ tbsp cooking oil (e.g., grapeseed oil)
  • ½ cup scallions (white part), thinly sliced
  • 1½ tbsp minced garlic (4 cloves)
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Korean chilli powder/flakes (e.g., Gochugaru)

Garnish

  • ¼ cup scallions (green part), thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • Extra chilli flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Heat a small frying pan over very low heat. Add the cooking oil, scallions (white part), and minced garlic. Sauté gently for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to release the aromas of the garlic and scallions.
  2. Simmer the Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, black vinegar, and Korean chilli powder or flakes. Raise the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine the flavors and slightly thicken the sauce.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the ribbon noodles according to the package instructions, usually around 4-6 minutes, until just tender. Drain the noodles thoroughly to remove excess water.
  4. Toss Noodles with Sauce: Transfer the drained noodles into the frying pan with the garlic chilli sauce. Toss well to coat all noodles evenly with the rich, spicy sauce, ensuring every strand absorbs the flavor.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Plate the noodles and garnish with the thinly sliced green scallions, toasted sesame seeds, and any extra chilli flakes if you want additional heat. Serve hot and enjoy this vibrant and aromatic noodle dish.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of Korean chilli powder to control the spiciness according to your taste.
  • To add protein, include tofu, chicken, or shrimp during the tossing step.
  • Use fresh garlic and fresh scallions for the best flavor.
  • Black vinegar adds a unique tangy note; if unavailable, balsamic vinegar can be a substitute but will alter the flavor slightly.
