Instructions

To make the Triple Garlic Sauce, set about a clove's worth of minced garlic aside. Then add the rest of the 70 grams garlic to a frying pan with about half of the ½ cup vegetable oil. Put the pan over medium-low heat and slowly fry the garlic until it's light brown in color and very fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. Let this cool.

When the fried garlic has cooled, add it in with the other ingredients along with the oil. Blend the mixture until smooth.

Add a few large spoonfuls of Triple Garlic Sauce onto the noodles and a ladleful of the boiling liquid from the noodles.
Toss together to emulsify the water with the sauce and coat the noodles. Taste and add more sauce if needed. If the noodles start to stick together, just add some more boiling liquid.
Garnish the garlic noodles with chopped Scallions and freshly cracked Black pepper.
