Directions:
Prepare noodles as per package instructions, slightly undercooking to keep them very chewy. Rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large heatproof bowl, combine chopped cilantro, minced garlic, shallot or red onion, curry powder, sugar, and chili powder.
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium to medium-high heat until hot and small bubbles form. Test the heat by adding a piece of garlic; it should sizzle immediately.
Turn off the heat and immediately pour the hot oil over the cilantro mixture. Mix well to combine.
Stir in vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and lime juice into the cilantro mixture.
Add cooked noodles to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with more vegetarian oyster sauce if needed.
Serve hot with a drizzle of chili oil or sauce, if desired.
