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 Aromatic Sauce: Heat a small frying pan over very low heat. Add cooking oil, scallions (white part), and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning and to release the garlic’s aroma.
  2. Simmer the Sauce: Add vegetable broth, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar, and Korean chilli powder/flakes to the pan. Increase heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend all the bold flavors together.
  3. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook the dried ribbon noodles in a pot of boiling water following the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Transfer the drained noodles to the pan with the garlic chilli sauce, tossing everything well to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the aromatic sauce.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with scallions (green part), toasted sesame seeds, and extra chilli flakes if desired for additional heat. Serve the noodles hot to fully enjoy their bold, comforting flavors.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium vegetable broth and soy sauce to control saltiness if desired.
  • Adjust the amount of Korean chilli flakes according to your preferred spice level.
  • Ribbon noodles can be substituted with other types such as udon, spaghetti, or rice noodles depending on availability.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the broth is vegetable-based and that the soy sauces are free from animal products.
  • To toast sesame seeds, lightly heat them in a dry pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant.
