Description
These Hoisin Garlic Noodles are a fast, flavor-packed noodle dish that combines sweet, savory, and nutty notes with a satisfying chewy texture—perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a tasty side.
Ingredients
Salt and pepper, to taste
14 ounces dried wheat or egg noodles
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
Vegetable oil, for sautéing
6 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
6 scallions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons toasted white sesame seeds
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dried noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse the noodles under cool water to stop the cooking process.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and maple syrup (or honey). Set aside.
- Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then sauté the chopped garlic and the white parts of the scallions until fragrant—about 30 seconds (do not let the garlic brown).
- Immediately pour in the sauce mixture, followed by the drained noodles. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated.
- Let the noodles cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the bottom to crisp slightly. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve warm, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and the green parts of the scallions.
Notes
- Rinse noodles after boiling to prevent sticking.
- Use gluten-free sauce and noodles for a GF version.
- Store extra sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Adjust sweetness or spice to your taste.
