Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) longevity noodles (wheat-based, dried or fresh) or spaghetti/udon (gluten-free option: brown rice spaghetti)
  • 4 tbsp (60ml) neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 6 large cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tsp (6g) red chili flakes (Korean gochugaru or Sichuan chili flakes recommended)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) dark soy sauce (or substitute with more regular soy sauce)
  • 1 tbsp (18g) oyster sauce (or vegetarian mushroom sauce for plant-based)
  • 1 tsp (5g) sugar
  • 1 tsp (5ml) sesame oil (toasted preferred)
  • 2 heads baby bok choy, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) carrots, julienned (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional, red or yellow)
  • 1 tbsp (9g) sesame seeds, toasted
  • Extra chili oil for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until al dente (7–8 minutes for dried, 3–4 for fresh). Drain and rinse briefly under cold water. Toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat 4 tbsp neutral oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chili flakes. Stir and let sizzle for 2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt. Optionally, add half the green onions. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Set aside.
  4. Heat wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp garlic chili oil. Add bok choy, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Remove veggies and set aside.
  5. Add cooked noodles to the hot wok with 1–2 tbsp garlic chili oil and stir-fry sauce. Toss noodles until evenly coated. Add veggies back in and toss again. Cook for 2–3 minutes until glossy.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or chili oil if desired.
  7. Transfer noodles to a serving dish. Sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Drizzle with extra garlic chili oil if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Prep all ingredients before starting for efficiency. Rinse noodles in cold water and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Adjust chili flakes for desired spice level. Substitute gluten-free noodles and sauces for dietary needs. Oyster sauce can be replaced with mushroom sauce for vegan option. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
