Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz dried egg noodles or ramen noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage

  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

Instructions

  5. Add the cooked and drained noodles to the skillet.
  6. Pour the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper over the noodles and vegetables.
  7. Toss everything together quickly and continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use tofu or skip the protein entirely.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the sauce mixture.
