Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 250 grams wheat noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Combine the drained noodles in a large bowl. Pour the soy-sesame dressing and sautéed garlic over the noodles and toss well to coat evenly.
Step 5: Add 3 thinly sliced scallions and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Toss again and serve warm or at room temperature.
