Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 3-4 minutes, until they are slightly undercooked for a chewy texture. Once done, drain the noodles in a colander and toss them with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking while you prepare the sauce.

In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and a splash of water. Mix well until the sugar dissolves, and the sauce appears dark and glossy.

Heat a wide skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Toss in 2 minced garlic cloves, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.

Add the drained ramen noodles to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the noodles, tossing everything together vigorously for 1-2 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat, and drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the noodles. Toss gently to combine.

Transfer the saucy noodles to bowls and top with your choice of garnishes, such as sliced green onions, sesame seeds, or soft-boiled eggs.
