Notes

Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, and adjust the chili flakes depending on your spice level. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; reheat gently. For prep ahead, make the sauce in advance but cook the noodles fresh for the best texture right before serving. Enjoy the versatility of serving these noodles hot or cold!
