How to Make Asian Garlic Noodles
Start by gathering the ingredients. To cook your noodles, next bring a large pot of water to a boil. While some noodles cook quickly, others could take up to 8 or 10 minutes. Before beginning, review the instructions on the package so you can make an informed decision.
I usually combine the sauce’s components (oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and white pepper) in a small bowl as the water comes to a boil. I then grate parmesan cheese, chop green onions, and peel and mince garlic.
If you haven’t already, start boiling your noodles. Before draining, reserve a cup of boiling noodle/pasta water. Drain and rinse with cool water.
Now, set a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, or until it is fragrant and golden (but not burned). Pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the noodles right away, turn off the heat, top with grated parmesan cheese, and stir thoroughly to incorporate the noodles with the sauce.
Add red chili flakes, minced green onions, parmesan cheese, and sesame seeds as garnishes.

How to Make Noodles with Soy Sauce
The simple step-by-step directions you need to make this dish are shown in the photos below:
The garlic cooks very quickly in a hot wok. It will sizzle as it goes. While it cooks, stir it with a non-scratch utensil, such as a silicon or wooden spoon (1-2 minutes).
Continue to stir as you add ingredients in. When stir-frying, I frequently keep things moving (it’s therapeutic!).
The dark soy sauce is thick and rich. If you are just beginning to cook with it, add a little, taste a portion of the dish, and add more as desired.
When you are adding ingredients, lift the noodles up with your kitchen tongs and stir.
This will guarantee that the sauce is uniform throughout the dish and has an equal amount of sauciness!
As you serve the noodles, divide the garlic and scallions that will stick to the wok with the noodles in the center among each bowl.
FAQ
How are Asian noodles made?
Chinese noodles are typically prepared by making a dough with flour, salt, and water, kneading the dough by hand to form bars, bending the bars for proofing, pulling the strips into strips, and dropping the strips into a pot of boiling water. When the noodles are done cooking, the strips are removed.
How are Asian noodles cooked?
Noodles should be soaked in hot water for 15 to 20 minutes to soften them. Depending on the type of rice noodles being cooked, different amounts of time will be needed to boil them. Vermicelli and other thin noodles should be cooked for 3 to 5 minutes, and thicker noodles for 7 to 9 minutes.
How do you make Asian dry noodles?
In addition to wheat flour, rice, yam, and mung beans can also be used to make Asian noodles, though even that wheat is a different variety than the durum wheat used to make pasta. Due to all of these texture and flavor differences, Asian noodles cannot usually be substituted for Italian pasta.
