Notes
(Note1)- any type of flat, wide wheat noodles would be perfect for this dish. For this recipe I used dried ribbon noodles (knife-cut sliced noodles- they’re usually made in Taiwan. You can buy them from most Asian supermarket or from Amazon). I found that their unique texture soak up best to the sauce as it is thicker than other type of noodles. However, I tried ramen noodles with this recipe, they worked great too.

(Note2)- Any neutral oil with high smoking point will work, I used grapeseed oil.

(Note3)- Use fresh garlic, you can add more if you like stronger garlicky flavor.

(Note4)- Light + dark soy sauce– good quality soy sauce is the key. I recommend Lee Kim Kee. You can check this post for the brands I recommended.

(Note5)- I recommend to use KONG YEN Black Vinegar.

(Note6)- It tastes very mild spicy with 1 Tbsp chilli powder of Korean chilli powder. However, you can use chilli powder or flakes you already have in the pantry. Taste to adjust the spiciness to your liking. The reason why I use Korean Gochugaru( Korean Chili Powder For Kimchi). As they’re less spicy and gives the noodles a beautiful red hue. You can add more chili flakes to finish the dish.
