Notes

  • Hoisin sauce is already pretty sweet on its own, so I rarely add maple syrup. I always taste first. You can add a little if you want it sweeter, but most of the time it really doesn’t need it.
  • Cook the garlic gently, not aggressively. Medium heat is your friend here. If it browns too fast, it turns bitter, and that bitterness sticks. Slow and fragrant is what you’re after.
  • Slightly undercook the noodles. I like them just a touch firm when I drain them. They’ll finish cooking in the pan and soak up the sauce without getting mushy.
