🤫 The cook's secret
Start with one spoon of hot sauce if you don't like heat, and add more to taste.
Heat the oil in a pan and cook the sauce for a minute until fragrant.
Add the noodles and a quarter cup of the cooking water and toss for a minute until fully coated.
Serve topped with sesame and green onion (and the egg or cheese).
