Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 200 grams fresh egg noodles for 2 minutes until just tender, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 100 grams chopped bacon and cook for 4-5 minutes until crispy and rendered of fat.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat in bacon fat.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp sugar. Continue frying and tossing for 3-4 minutes until the noodles develop a lightly crisp texture and the sauce thickens to coat evenly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle 2 tbsp sliced scallions over the top, and serve immediately.
