Even more basic than my scallion oil.  \n\n\n\nScallion oil, the secret of restaurant noodles\n\n\n\nThe procedure is relatively simple. We start by cooking the noodles of your choice, then set them aside. Then, I strongly advise preparing the few vegetables\/aromatics in advance: as it's a stir-fry dish, once you start cooking it can go very quickly and you wouldn't want to burn such a delicious dish.  \n\n\n\nStill with the idea of having everything \"ready\" before cooking, we mix the sauce ingredients in advance, because if you have to start opening each individual bottle and pouring while cooking, 100% of the time it will burn. \n\n\n\nIn short, it's quick, less elaborate than vegetable noodles and it's as good as it is easy. What more could you ask for? \n\n\n\nThe ingredients for Chinese garlic noodles\n\n\n\nYou don't need many ingredients for a heavenly taste\n\n\n\nLight and dark soy sauce: The two are indeed different and each has its role to play in the taste of the dish. For your information, light soy sauce is the salty sauce found in all stores, even Western ones.  \n\n\n\nDark soy sauce can be found online or in Asian grocery stores. It's not essential but adds a little touch to the taste that you'll learn to love if you have the chance to try it Discover the secrets of soy sauce here \n\n\n\nSesame oil: Be careful to respect the quantities, especially if it's toasted sesame oil because its taste is very powerful and can quickly overpower the rest of the ingredients. Well, if you're addicted to sesame, I'm nobody to judge. \n\n\n\nThe sauce will have a nice taste of garlic and onions\n\n\n\nOyster sauce: same as sesame oil, don't overuse it, it can make the dish very very salty. However, it is essential and no, it doesn't taste like oyster \n\n\n\nSugar: yes yes, I know. Sugar is baaad. Well, it doesn't just add calories but brings a lot of flavor in the sense that it balances the flavors of the dish.   \n\n\n\nNot only that, but it will help the sauce adhere to the noodles by caramelizing as it reduces. In short, it acts on both taste and texture so don't neglect it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\tChinese Garlic Noodles\n\t\t\n\t\tA delicious recipe for Chinese stir-fried noodles well flavored with garlic\t\n\t\n\t\tWok\t\n\t\n\t\t200 g of pre-cooked noodles5 cloves of garlic  (minced)3 stems of green onions (minced)Sauce1 tablespoon   powdered sugar2 teaspoons   of oyster sauce1 tablespoon   light soy sauce1 tablespoon   dark soy sauce1 teaspoon   sesame oil\t\n\t\n\t\tMix the sauce in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolvedIn a wok over medium-high heat, heat a little oil and saut\u00e9 the garlic and green onions for 2 minutesAdd the noodles.
