Making Garlic Noodles
Heat sesame oil in a wok or kadai. Keep the heat to medium and add the finely chopped garlic and the dry red chilies. Stir fry for a few seconds. No need to brown the garlic.
Then add the chopped spring onions and celery. Celery is optional and if you do not have then omit adding it.
Stir fry on a medium heat till the onions turn translucent and soften.
Then add the sauces one by one – soy sauce, red chili sauce or red chili paste. Also add rice vinegar (swap with rice wine or white vinegar). Stir well.
Add salt according to taste and sugar. Add less salt as the sauces already have salt in them. Stir and mix again.
Now add the cooked noodles. On a medium heat, mix and stir so that the sauce coats the noodles very well. Check for the seasoning
You can decrease or increase the quantity of the sauces as per your taste. You can also add black pepper or white pepper. Switch off the heat.
Finally add the spring onions greens and stir to combine.
