# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Spoon it onto plates and dig in while it's nice and hot.
02 -
Drop in your cooked noodles, green onion tops, and the sauce you mixed. Toss everything for a minute until the noodles pick up all that flavor and are hot all through.
03 -
Now, throw in the shredded cabbage. Stir around for two minutes till it starts getting soft.
04 -
Turn your frying pan or wok up on high. Pour in some oil. Toss in the garlic, carrots, and onion and move them around for about two minutes. You want them just starting to soften.
05 -
Boil a big pot of water. Plop in your dried egg noodles and cook about five minutes, or until they're just done. Pour off the hot water, run cold water over the noodles, and drain them well.
06 -
Grab a bowl and drop in the dark soy, light soy, your chosen sugar, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, white pepper, and oyster sauce. Whisk until you can't see any sugar or cornstarch bits.
07 -
Cut up your onion, carrots, cabbage, garlic, and green onion. Keep the sliced green onion aside to toss in at the end.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Crank your wok up high if you can to get that tasty smoky vibe pros call 'wok hei.' Get everything ready before firing up the stove because things go quick.
