🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: dried noodles

Whole wheat noodles add fiber, while dried noodles are often less expensive.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: chili paste

💰Cheaper: sriracha

Chili paste can offer a fresher flavor, while sriracha is widely available.

Boil water in a large pot and cook fresh noodles until al dente, about 3-4 minutes.

Drain noodles and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in chopped green onions and cook for another minute.

Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine with aromatics.

Pour in soy sauce, hot sauce, sugar, and vinegar, mixing well to coat the noodles evenly.

Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce.

Drizzle sesame oil over the noodles and mix thoroughly.
