Steps

1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. For this recipe, I used Chinese wheat noodles.
Heat the sesame oil in a skillet until it just starts to smoke.
2

Place the cooked noodles in a heatproof bowl. Sprinkle with chopped garlic, ground chili pepper, salt, and MSG. Pour the hot sesame oil directly over the chili pepper.
3

Top with chopped green onions and dried small shrimp (optional). Mix everything very well before eating. For best results, lift and toss the noodles as you mix.
