I’ve included some videos I found relevant and helpful. 😍

Supreme Soy Noodles are a quick and tasty Asian side dish you can whip up in just 10 minutes. These noodles pack a flavor punch with a blend of soy sauces, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. You can enjoy them on their own or pair them with your favorite Asian main dishes.

The recipe is simple to follow and uses easy-to-find ingredients. You’ll need fresh noodles, green onions, garlic, and a mix of sauces. The key to making these noodles extra delicious is letting them caramelize slightly in the pan. This step adds depth to the flavor and makes them irresistible.

Exact Ingredients List

Here’s what you’ll need to make Supreme Soy Noodles:

• 500g (1 lb) fresh yellow or white noodles, medium thickness
• 2 tablespoons vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
• 8 green onions, trimmed and cut into 2.5″ pieces
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

For the sauce, you’ll need:

• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon mirin

You can find most of these items in the Asian section of your grocery store. If you can’t find mirin, you can use rice wine or dry sherry as a substitute.

Remember to separate the white and green parts of the onions. You’ll use them at different times in the cooking process.

Instructions

Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and rinse quickly under cold water to prevent sticking.

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and stir for 20 seconds.

Add garlic and cook for 10 seconds until lightly golden.

Put the noodles in the pan and pour the sauce over them. Toss for 1 1/2 minutes to let the noodles caramelize slightly.

Add the green parts of the onions and toss for about 20 seconds until just wilted.

Serve your supreme soy noodles right away while hot!

Pro tip: Don’t rush the caramelizing step – it really enhances the flavor. If your stove isn’t very powerful, you may need to cook a bit longer.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Choose the right noodles for the best results. Fresh egg noodles work great, but dried wheat noodles are a good substitute.

Don’t overcook your noodles. They should be al dente to avoid becoming mushy when stir-frying.

Heat your wok or pan until it’s very hot before adding ingredients. This helps create that delicious wok hei flavor.

Toss the noodles quickly and continuously while cooking. This ensures even coating of the sauce and prevents sticking.

For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan with a splash of water to freshen them up.

Try adding veggies like bok choy or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor. Just toss them in during the last minute of cooking.

Customize the sauce to your taste. You can add a bit of chili oil for heat or more oyster sauce for richness.

Serve your supreme soy noodles right away for the best texture and flavor. They’re perfect as a side dish or quick meal on their own.
