Tips for the Best Mongolian Noodles
- Use freshly grated ginger for the brightest flavor.
- Low-sodium soy sauce helps balance the saltiness.
- Do not overcook the sauce once the cornstarch is added.
- Cook the noodles just until al dente since they continue cooking slightly in the sauce.
- Toss the noodles immediately after adding them so every bite is evenly coated.
