Ingredients
- 1 pound asian noodles or spaghetti, I used Hakka style noodles
- 1 bulb garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- black pepper Freshly ground, to taste
- 2 green onions sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Asian noodles or spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce over the noodles. Toss to combine and coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are heated through.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; pre-minced garlic from a jar can work if you're short on time.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the noodles with rice noodles and use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, or snap peas for extra nutrition and color.
- If the noodles seem dry when reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen them up.
