These garlic noodles are made popular by Thanh long restaurant, in San Francisco and are worth a try because of their simplicity and ease of making. You need a few basic pantry ingredients that I bet you have on hand, you might end up making it in rotation.
Noodles – I prefer chewy egg noodles, even better if fresh but dry will also do. But any other kind of long pasta/noodles like instant ramen, spaghetti, or angel hair pasta will also work here. Butter and oil– A good amount of butter for a rich sauce. Use unsalted butter to control the salt in the dish. Oil prevents the butter from burning. Garlic– tons of garlic. Fresh garlic minced fine. Soy sauce– Preferably low sodium soy sauce. Fish sauce – Fish sauce has a deep flavor and adds a layer of umami. It gives a Vietnamese twist to the noodles. Oyster sauce– again for the umami. You can swap oyster sauce with soy sauce. If you follow a vegan diet, you can use oyster mushroom sauce instead. Parmesan cheese– Here comes the Italian twist to the Asian noodles. Parmesan makes the noodles creamy. Green onions Sugar- There is a lot of salty sauce in there, so to balance it off just a little bit of sugar. Honey or brown sugar will also work in a pinch.
Serve with
A perfect side dish to serve along with a fried egg or any Asian mains like Honey Garlic Salmon, Korean Chicken, sesame chicken, Honey sriracha chicken, and with a side of greens.
