Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional)
- 8 oz cooked shrimp or crab meat (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring often to prevent burning.
Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and granulated sugar, whisking together to combine the ingredients into a smooth sauce.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated, ensuring the noodles are thoroughly warmed through.
If using, fold in cooked shrimp or crab meat, stirring gently to incorporate.
Remove the noodles from heat and sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top, mixing it in until melted and well dispersed.
Plate the noodles and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Crustacean Inspired Garlic Noodles while hot.
