Do not rinse the chao mian noodles after you cook them; the starch on the surface helps them ''grab'' the garlic flavor. Serve them with Red-Cooked Pork, if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh chao mian-style wheat noodles
- 3 Tbsp. peanut oil
- 6-8 cloves minced and peeled garlic
- 2 tsp. Japanese soy sauce
- 1 tsp. oyster sauce
- Salt
