Step 1

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles cook, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and just cooked through. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the sesame oil and minced garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant; keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the garlic.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and chili sauce. Let the sauce simmer for 1 minute to combine flavors.

Step 6

Return noodles and shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.

Step 7

Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top. Give it all one last toss before serving hot.
