Instructions
Prep Noodles
- Cooked Egg Noodles: If you have cooked egg noodles, rinse in hot water or pat down with a paper towel to remove any excess oil from the packaging. Set aside.
- Raw Egg Noodles: If your egg noodles aren’t cooked yet, prepare according to package instructions, rinse in cold water, drain, and set aside.
- Tip: If noodles are hard to separate, heat them in the microwave in 30 second intervals until warm and easy to separate, then prepare noodles as instructed above.
Prep Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients - oyster sauce, fish sauce, Maggi's Seasoning, rice vinegar, sesame oil, & black pepper. Set aside.
Cook Garlic Noodles:
- Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat, then add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the garlic then saute for a few minutes, or until soft & fragrant. Keep an eye on the garlic so it doesn't burn. Add garlic powder and toast for a few more seconds.
- Pour in sauce mixture and combine with the rest of the ingredients, then bring to a simmer. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until it's slightly thickened.
- Add noodles, increase heat to medium-high, and gently stir fry so the noodles don’t break. Once noodles have absorbed the sauce and are heated through, turn off the heat and sprinkle on freshly grated parmesan cheese. Combine until cheese has melted from the residual heat.
- Finish with green onions on top, if desired. Serve immediately & enjoy!
Notes
- Noodles:
- Rice Vinegar: Because this dish is so rich, the rice vinegar helps brighten the dish so it doesn't feel so heavy - definitely don't recommend skipping this ingredient.
- Save Time Mincing:
- Low & Slow for Deeper Flavor:
- Noodles: You can use either egg noodles or spaghetti noodles for this recipe. If you're using spaghetti noodles, use half the noodle weight in the recipe since it'll expand after you boil them, then follow the rest of the recipe.
- Parmesan Cheese: Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for this recipe - trust me, it makes a WORLD of difference. Avoid pre-shredded cheese because it won't fully melt the same & give a completely different texture. Don't say I didn't warn you!
- Oyster Sauce & Fish Sauce: Oyster sauce and fish sauce add umami and can be found at local Asian markets.
- Rice Vinegar: Because this dish is so rich, the rice vinegar helps brighten the dish so it doesn't feel so heavy - definitely don't recommend skipping this ingredient.
- Garlic Powder: Use garlic powder for amplified flavor and complexity. Don't use garlic salt to avoid over-salting.
Key Tips
Save Time Mincing: Using pre-minced garlic from the grocery store saves a TON of time if you aren't in the mood to peel & mince. Low & Slow for Deeper Flavor: The key to delicious garlic butter noodles is to cook the garlic low and slow, allowing the flavor to infuse without burning.
