Step 5

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain well, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 6

In a small pan, heat vegetable oil and sauté chopped garlic until golden brown. Add 3 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and mix well to create the sauce.

Step 7

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked noodles with the sauce, making sure the noodles are well coated.
