How to Make It

How to Make It

  1. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, then drain well and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, oyster sauce, and water. Mix until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  3. Steam the siomai for 10–12 minutes, or until fully cooked and heated through. Set aside.
  4. Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the garlic and onion, then sauté until fragrant and lightly softened.
  6. Add the mung bean sprouts and stir-fry for about 1 minute, keeping them slightly crisp.
  7. Add the cooked egg noodles and toss until evenly combined with the vegetables.
  8. Pour in the prepared sauce and continue tossing until the noodles are evenly coated and have absorbed most of the sauce.
  9. Drizzle in the sesame oil and toss briefly to combine.
  10. Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl or plate.
  11. Top with the steamed siomai, fried garlic, and chili garlic oil.
  12. Serve with calamansi on the side and squeeze over the noodles before eating.
  13. Serve and enjoy.
Kubo Tips
  • Avoid overcooking the egg noodles during boiling since they will continue cooking when stir-fried with the sauce.
  • Use a hot wok or wide pan so the noodles fry instead of steaming.
  • Drain the noodles well before adding them to the pan to prevent the dish from becoming watery.
  • Adjust the chili garlic oil and calamansi to taste when serving.
