Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams spaghetti or egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 stalks spring onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 litres water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook the spaghetti or egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the noodle cooking water, then drain the noodles and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, finely mince the garlic and slice the spring onions (if using). Keep them ready for use.
In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Lower the heat slightly and stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar. If you like heat, add the red chili flakes at this stage.
Add the drained noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until they are well coated. If the mixture looks too dry, add a splash of the reserved noodle cooking water to loosen it up.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of richness.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced spring onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
