Steps
Cut the dallae (wild garlic) into bite-sized lengths.
The garlic and onion are used for aroma, so you can slice them or chop them finely.
Add 1 tbsp of salt to about 6 cups of rolling boiling water.
Add the pasta noodles and boil for about 8 minutes.
Boil them slightly underdone, as they will be stir-fried once more with the seasoning.
Heat a pan, drizzle with olive oil, add the garlic and onion, and stir-fry until golden brown.
Then add the Vietnamese chili pepper (or peperoncino, Cheongyang chili pepper) and stir-fry until the spicy aroma comes through.
Add the boiled pasta noodles, noodle cooking water, and sand lance fish sauce, tossing evenly so the flavors soak in.
Taste and add salt if it is too bland.
Finally, toss in the dallae (wild garlic) to finish.
It tastes even better if you transfer it to a plate and sprinkle with parmesan cheese powder before eating.
