Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of spaghetti noodles and cook for 7-8 minutes until al dente; drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 5 finely minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden but not burnt.
  3. Step 3: Lower heat to medium, add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon brown sugar, tossing continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the noodles.
  4. Step 4: Remove skillet from heat and stir in 4 thinly sliced scallions and 1 teaspoon sesame oil, tossing to combine before serving hot.
