What kind of noodles did you use?
They would be rice noodles, just make sure you get the wide ones.
When you say dark soy sauce, do you have any preferred brand? I read somewhere that you can just use Kikkoman (apparently most Japanese soy sauces are dark soy sauce?), but if that’s the case – I realize it may well not be – what would you recommend for the plain “soy sauce”? I’m fairly new to Asian cooking and would definitely appreciate the help :)
Hi! Sorry for the confusion! I should’ve probably written it differently! You can use “plain” soy sauce, which is basically “dark” soy sauce. I specified ‘dark’ bc i know some people like to swap out for “light”, but this recipe is really much better + has a better depth of flavor, if I’m using “dark” (aka “plain”)
