Steps:

• Heat 1.5 tablespoon of oil. Add the crushed chili pepper and powder and let them cook, sizzle and brown. They will turn dark brown and even might make you cough. It is this burnt aroma you are looking for. It will mellow when you add the noodles. If you do not want the heat/spice strain the oil and discard the chili pepper. If you want stronger flavor allow the oil to sit overnight and then strain.I have not strained the oil. Return oil to the pan/wok. Add the sliced garlic. Allow them to turn golden or even a little darker if you want. Increase the heat and add the vegetables and salt. Quickly stir-fry moving them around in the wok/pan, for only about a minutes or less. Add the drained noodles, and quickly toss everything together for the oil and the vegetables to combine well. Combine vinegar and soy sauce and add to the noodles. Toss again to for the vinegar and soy sauce to combine with the noodles. Switch off the heat and adjust salt. Drizzle the toasted sesame oil and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro and toss just before serving. Serve warm.
