Instructions:
- Prepare the fresh noodles by blanching them in boiling water or hot tap water to loosen them. Then, drain in a colander.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add finely chopped garlic, sliced green onions, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for a minute or so to release the aromas.
- Add the prepared noodles to the pan.
- Stir in the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, a pinch of sugar, white pepper, and a splash of water to mix well with the noodles and vegetables.
- Continue to stir-fry the mixture until everything is well combined and the noodles have absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
- Finish off by drizzling sesame oil over the noodles and tossing them once more to distribute the oil evenly.
