Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Once water is bowling, add noodls to pot and cook according to instructions. Drain the noodles, rinse under cold water for 30 seconds.

Heat a drizzle of oil in pot used for cabbage over medium-high heat. Add green onion whites and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until fragrant 20-30 seconds.
