Simple and flavorful, fried noodles seasoned with shoyu is one of those more-than-a-snack, not-quite-a-meal foods you find all over Hawai'i.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh saimin, ramen, or chow mein noodles
3 tablespoons Microwave Fried Garlic, with reserved oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 8 cloves)
3 tablespoons shoyu (soy sauce)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons instant dashi powder (such as HonDashi)
ΒΌ cup chopped scallions
Sambal oelek, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Loosen the noodles and add to the pot. When the water returns to a boil, the noodles should be nearly done (2 to 3 minutes; or follow the package directions). Check the noodles by taste or touch. They should be tender but springy. Drain thoroughly.
  • In a wok or skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the garlic oil over high heat until shimmering-hot. Add the raw garlic, stir-frying until fragrant but not browned, a few seconds. Add the noodles and toss to coat. Add the shoyu, oyster sauce, and dashi powder and continue to stir-fry for another minute or two until the sauce is absorbed.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the noodles to a serving plate or individual bowls. Reheat the fried garlic in the microwave until crispy, 10 to 15 seconds, keeping an eye (and a nose) on it so it doesn't burn.
  • Garnish the noodles with scallions and fried garlic before serving. Top with sambal if desired.

This dish was okay. I think I would have liked it more if the noodles were a bit more flavorful.

The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking, but the flavor was still good.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.
