Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb 5 oz pre-cooked Thai wheat noodles*
- 2 tablespoons neutral flavored oil, such as avocado, canola or safflower
- 4–6 large cloves garlic, depending on how garlicky you want your noodles to be
- 1/4 cup tamari, or soy sauce (I like to use low sodium)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- Thinly sliced green onion, for garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside. I used wheat stir fry noodles that come pre-cooked, but I did boil them in hot water for 2-3 minutes beforehand so that they could easily and quickly blend into the sauce.
- To a small bowl, add in the tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup, rice wine vinegar and salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once pan is hot, add in 2 tablespoons of neutral flavored oil and the minced garlic. Cook until garlic is fragrant and just starting to become golden brown, about 60 seconds.
- Next, add in the cooked noodles and then pour the sauce over them. Mix everything together well and let cook for another 2-3 minutes. I like to let the noodles brown a little bit in the frying pan. Season with extra salt or tamari, if needed. Turn the heat off and stir in the sliced green onions. Top with toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
Notes
*1 lb 5 oz was just the measurement of the box of noodles that I used. You don’t have to use that exact same amount, just similar.
