Ingredients
- 1 red Fresno chile, seeded, deveined and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 3 dried hot chiles
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic (about 1 large clove)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (about one 2-inch piece, peeled)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons naturally-brewed soy sauce, such as Kikkoman or Yamasa
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 8 ounces fresh thin egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil, plus an extra teaspoon if needed
- 1 bunch Chinese or garlic chives, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 1 cup soy bean sprouts
Instructions
- Combine the Fresno chile, dried chiles, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Reserve.
- Combine the sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce and sake in a small bowl for the liquid seasonings. Reserve.
- Separate the noodles with your fingers so they no longer stick together.
- Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the 3 tablespoons peanut oil and swirl to coat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles—they should brown immediately. Toss several times.
- Add 1 teaspoon of peanut oil if the wok is too dry, then add the chiles, garlic and ginger. Toss and cook for a few seconds, then add the chives. Cook, tossing with chopsticks or tongs, for 45 seconds.
- Add 1/4 cup of water, which will steam the noodles, and cook for a few seconds. Add the bowl of liquid seasonings and bean sprouts. Cook, tossing, until the noodles are cooked through, about 10 seconds. Serve immediately.

Reviews
I love this recipe. The only issue I’ve had is trying to find a soy sauce like he described. All high end, fermented soy sauces have added salt and I lost a lot of time looking for soy sauce without salt added because he said to look for premeium soy sauce that doesn’t add salt.
Wow! This recipe is super easy to put together and insanely delicious. I already ate both servings in one sitting and am contemplating making another batch. Send help!
