Preparing the Garlic Oil
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic, as it can become bitter.
Adding Sauces

Combining Noodles
  1. Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the garlic sauce. Mix everything thoroughly, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the fragrant oil. You can add a splash of water if it feels too dry.
Garnishing
  1. Finally, remove from heat and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Give it a gentle toss to distribute the garnishes.
Serving
  1. Plate the noodles and enjoy them right away! Feel free to adjust toppings to your preference.

Notes
