Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 8 oz dried egg noodles according to package instructions until just tender (about 4 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the drained noodles to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until noodles start to crisp slightly on the edges.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce over the noodles and toss well to coat evenly.
Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in 4 thinly sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
