Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (7 oz.) packages udon noodles
  • 8 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped finely

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  1. Soften the Noodles: Soak the udon noodles in hot water for 5 to 7 minutes until they soften and the clusters break apart, making them ready for cooking.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the water, sriracha, soy sauce, honey, and oyster sauce until fully combined and set the sauce mixture aside.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Heat the vegetable oil in a wide sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the finely minced garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes golden brown and fragrant.
  4. Toss Noodles in Garlic Oil: Add the softened udon noodles to the pan and toss them for a few seconds to coat them evenly with the garlic-infused oil.
  5. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the noodles, then use tongs to thoroughly toss and coat each noodle with the sauce.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Continue cooking and tossing the noodles until the sauce thickens slightly and coats each noodle well, leaving only a thin pool of sauce beneath.
  7. Finish with Lime and Cilantro: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro to add bright, fresh flavors.
  8. Serve: Plate the noodles immediately and enjoy this flavorful, garlicky dish while warm.

Notes

  • For gluten-free version, substitute udon noodles and soy sauce with gluten-free alternatives.
  • Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha according to your preference.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian dish, replace oyster sauce with mushroom-based vegetarian oyster sauce or soy sauce.
  • This dish is best served immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
