Cooking Steps
  1. Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 4-6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Gradually mix in the dissolved corn starch and white pepper until smooth.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add diced garlic and sliced onions. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced carrots and shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and crisp yet tender.
  5. Gently add the drained noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over. Toss everything gently to coat and heat for about 1 minute.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
