1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped green onions reserve some of the chopped green tops for serving if desired

1/4 cup chili garlic sauce plus more for serving if desired

Instructions

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and cover with foil to keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft. Add the half-and-half, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in the noodles.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Top with cilantro (and more green onions if you saved some). Serve with extra chili garlic sauce on the side.
