Step 1

Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

Step 2

Boil the noodles according to the package instructions until al-dente. Rinse with running tap water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a wok or nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan with oil. Add the noodles. Toss with a pair of tongs until the edges are lightly charred. Add a bit more oil and use a wok spatula to scoop to loosen the noodles if the noodles stuck to the pan.

Step 4

Add the white part of the green onions, along with the garlic and ginger. Cook and stir for a few seconds to release the fragrance.

Step 5

(Optional) Add the bell pepper. Cook and stir for a minute or so, until the pepper just starts to turn tender.

Step 6

Pour in the sauce. Quickly toss the noodles until the sauce is absorbed. Add the green part of the green onions. Transfer the noodles to serving plates.

Step 7

Serve hot as a main or side.
