A delightful twist on the classic garlic noodles, this recipe offers enhanced flavors and textures for a satisfying meal.
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Rinse the noodles with cold water after cooking to prevent sticking.
Heat the wok over medium heat and add the canola oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and red chili flakes to the wok. Stir to combine.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl beforehand for easier incorporation.
Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
Use tongs to ensure the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
Slice the cucumber into thin strips and chop the cilantro. Use them to garnish the noodles before serving.
Add the garnish just before serving to maintain freshness.
