Notes
- Since I'm adding soy sauce to my noodles I don't salt the water I boil my pasta in since I'm essentially adding salt directly to the noodles afterwards.
- To ensure an even mixture with add-ins such as garlic and ginger and roasted red chili paste, mix it into your soy sauce before adding it to the noodles.
- Feel free to experiment with this recipe to achieve your perfect flavor combination!
