Soak the mushrooms in boiling water for 1 hour. After soaking, drain, remove the stems, and slice the mushrooms.

In a bowl, mix the two sauces, sugar, and reserved mushroom soaking water.
3

Heat the oil in a pot. Sauté the mushrooms and water chestnuts for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Season with pepper.
4

Add the sauce mixture and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then add the noodles. Cook according to the noodle package instructions, usually 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to break the noodles.

Serve in bowls, dividing the noodles, broth, and toppings evenly. Add the chopped scallions.

You can also serve the noodles without broth. In that case, add 4 tablespoons sesame oil for a pleasant flavor and a nice shine.

j'adore cuisiner, plus salé que sucré. j'avoue ne pas être très douée pour la pâtisserie. j'adore tester de nouvelles recettes, de tout horizon confondus.j'ai la chance de venir d'une famille ou beaucoup de culture (culinaire) se côtoient ; française, algérienne, marocaine, antillaise et chinoise.femme au foyer, ce n'est pas pour autant que je passe ma vie derrière les fourneaux. j'aime autant cuisiner de bons plats mijotés et sophistiqués que de petits plats simple et rapides.pour me trouver sur instagram : @cuisine de mariama
