Quick & Easy Garlic Noodles
A quick and easy recipe for garlic noodles that combines savory oyster sauce, butter, and fresh ingredients.
Equipment
- Large pot
- Skillet
- Colander
- bowl
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce can be found in the International aisle
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar reduce by half for a more savory sauce
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 8 oz angel hair pasta can substitute with spaghetti or rice noodles
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ bunch green onions sliced, save some for garnish
- 4 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Add the oyster sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil to a bowl and stir until combined.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions (boil for 7-10 minutes). Drain the cooked noodles in a colander, then set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, mince the garlic and slice the green onions. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the garlic and onions (save a few for garnish) and sauté until they are soft and fragrant (1-2 minutes).
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the drained pasta and oyster sauce mixture to the skillet, and stir well to coat the pasta. If your pasta is stiff or sticky making it hard to stir, sprinkle a small amount of hot water over the pasta to loosen it up. Garnish the pasta with any reserved sliced green onions, then serve.
Notes
Oyster sauce gives this dish its unique flavor. Hoisin sauce can be used as a substitute but will alter the taste.
