Notes

  • Hand-cut thick noodles or udon noodles are a great choice for this recipe.
  • Try not to overcook the noodles. Mushy or sticky noodles will not give you the right results.

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding to the chili and garlic sauce. Cold oil or less hot oil will not give you the desired results.
