Instructions

Step 1: Prepare 12 oz wide rice noodles by soaking dried noodles in warm water for 30 minutes or rinsing fresh noodles; drain well.
Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 5 finely chopped garlic cloves and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add the drained noodles to the wok, tossing gently with the garlic oil for 1 minute until warmed through.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Stir-fry continuously for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Remove from heat, season with 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and garnish with 3 thinly sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
