- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Sauce
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Prepare the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic: Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
