What’s the best noodle for soy sauce noodles?

Fresh egg noodles (look for them in the refrigerated section at Asian markets), but honestly? Use whatever you’ve got: dried chow mein, ramen, or spaghetti.

Can I add more veggies or protein?

Absolutely! Bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, snap peas, or any quick-cooking veg are all fair game. For protein, add cooked chicken, shrimp, beef, pork, or tofu.

What’s the difference between regular and dark soy sauce?

Dark soy sauce is thicker, less salty, and a bit sweet. It’s mainly for color and a little caramel flavor. If you can’t find it, just use regular soy sauce, but your noodles will be a bit lighter.

How do I keep noodles from sticking together?

After boiling, rinse them in cold water and toss with a tiny bit of oil. When frying, don’t overcrowd the pan!

Instructions

Cook fresh egg noodles per package instructions (usually 1 min in boiling water). Rinse with cold water, drain, and set aside.
Whisk together soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, and water until the sugar dissolves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a hot wok or skillet. Add garlic and the white part of the green onion, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the noodles, toss to coat, then spread out and cook for about 3 minutes until the bottom starts to crisp.
Lower heat to medium-low, pour in the sauce, and toss to coat until noodles are caramelized.
Toss in bean sprouts and green onion greens. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender.
Remove from heat, stir in sesame oil, and enjoy right away!

Notes

Use fresh noodles for best texture and flavor. Prep all ingredients before starting as this dish cooks very quickly. Add chili oil or sriracha if you want it spicy. For protein, stir-fry chicken, shrimp, or tofu separately and toss in at the end.
