1

In a small bowl, mix the garlic, soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to make the sauce; set it aside.
2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the udon blocks. Let them sit until they begin to loosen, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep the noodles slightly firm. Drain them and return them to the pot.

Pour in the sauce and stir until the noodles are evenly coated. Transfer to a serving dish, top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, and serve.
