Ingredients
  

Noodles and Base Ingredients
  • 600 g cooked egg noodles Look for high-quality fresh or frozen brands
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is a game changer!
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter Room temperature for easy melting
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil Extra virgin for a richer flavor
Sauces and Seasonings
  • 1 Tbsp oyster sauce Look for gluten-free if desired
  • 1 Tbsp Golden Mountain Sauce, Maggi Seasoning, or soy sauce Homemade versions work beautifully!
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce A tiny bit goes a long way
  • 35 g finely grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is always best

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using pre-cooked egg noodles, gently pull them apart and rinse under cold water, then drain and set on a paper towel-lined plate. If using uncooked noodles, cook according to package instructions, drain, and rinse afterward.
  2. Pound the garlic into a rough paste or mince it finely.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and Golden Mountain sauce.
Cooking
  1. In a large wok or a sturdy frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over low heat to prevent burning. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant—about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Increase the heat to high and add the noodles and sauce blend. Toss everything together until the noodles are thoroughly heated and coated with the sauce—about 2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top, if desired.
  4. Serve the Garlic Noodles on a plate, garnished with freshly ground pepper and green onions, plus lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Leftover Garlic Noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a gluten-free version, ensure your noodles and sauces are certified gluten-free. For vegan options, omit the butter and Parmesan; try using vegan butter and nutritional yeast instead.
