- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for umami)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (for tanginess)

Instructions
Start by preparing the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of warm water to the flour mixture.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After resting, roll out the dough into a thin rectangle on a floured surface.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
Dust the cut noodles with flour to prevent sticking.
Set aside while you prepare the sauce.
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of chili oil, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Finely mince 3 cloves of garlic and add them to the sauce mixture.
Add a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper for added flavor.
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Drop the prepared knife-cut noodles into the boiling water.
Cook them for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still chewy.
Once they are cooked, drain the noodles using a colander and quickly rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chili garlic sauce and toss the noodles to ensure they are evenly coated.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Transfer the Chili Garlic Noodles to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an added crunch.
Enjoy your homemade dish immediately while it’s hot and flavorful!
