Asian Garlic Noodles

Step 1

Cook noodles or pasta to al dente according to package instructions (cooking time will vary). When the noodles are soft, reserve 1 cup of the boiling noodle water and strain. Rinse the pasta with cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and white pepper in a small bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant - approximately 30-60 seconds. Add the prepared sauce to the garlic butter and mix well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Add the cooked noodles to the simmering sauce. Gently toss to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 5

To thicken the sauce, add some of the reserved noodle water until desired consistency is reached. If the sauce becomes too thick, add some water, vegetable broth, or chicken broth, as needed.

Step 6

Sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese, green onions, and red chili flakes. Gently mix to combine.

Step 7

Best served immediately.
