Instructions

Step 1: Soak 8 oz dried rice noodles in warm water for 20 minutes until pliable, then drain thoroughly.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 thinly sliced fresh red chili, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.
Step 3: Add drained noodles to the wok along with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Toss continuously for 3-4 minutes until noodles are heated through and sauce thickens slightly, coating the noodles.
