Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by cooking the noodles according to the package instructions. I generally boil them for about 3-5 minutes until they’re tender, then drain them and give them a quick rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. In my kitchen, the smell of noodles cooking always gets me excited! Meanwhile, I heat the vegetable oil in my large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, I toss in the minced garlic and sauté it for just about 30 seconds—trust me, this is when the magic starts as the aroma fills my kitchen!
