Provided by Sarah

Categories     Noodles

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces thin spaghetti ((340g; can also use dried Chinese noodles or fresh egg noodles))
salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic ((peeled and thinly sliced))
1/8 teaspoon turmeric ((optional))
1 tablespoon oyster sauce ((or vegetarian oyster sauce))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1-2 teaspoons brown sugar ((depending on your taste))
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1-2 whole scallions ((chopped))
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles/pasta according to package instructions. If using fresh noodles, you may simply need to blanch them. (Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, as you may need it in the sauce later.)
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until lightly caramelized, and stir in the turmeric (if using), oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir for 1 minute and add the scallions.
  • After 30 seconds, to let the scallions wilt, toss in the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the noodle cooking water to loosen them up. Serve!

GARLIC NOODLES



Garlic Noodles image

These deceivingly simple, yet devastatingly delicious garlic noodles were invented back in the '70s at a restaurant in San Francisco called Thanh Long. Usually served with roasted Dungeness crab, the recipe is a very closely guarded family secret, but after lots of investigation, and even more experimentation, I think this is very close.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta

Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch cayenne pepper
8 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or to taste
6 ounces spaghetti
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Stir soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl for the secret sauce.
  • Place secret sauce near the stove. Place garlic, butter, Parmesan cheese, and green onion in individual bowls within easy reach.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Quickly stir in the secret sauce and turn off the heat.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet slightly firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Transfer spaghetti into the sauce using tongs, bringing some of the cooking water with it. Toss until well coated and stir in Parmesan cheese. Splash in more pasta water if noodles are too dry.
  • Plate noodles. Garnish with red pepper flakes and green onions.

SAN FRANCISCO-STYLE VIETNAMESE AMERICAN GARLIC NOODLES



San Francisco-Style Vietnamese American Garlic Noodles image

These noodles, adapted from the cookbook "The Wok" by J. Kenji López-Alt, and based on the noodle dish originally created and served by Helene An at San Francisco's Thanh Long restaurant, are extraordinarily simple and delicious on their own, but that doesn't mean you can't fancy them up a bit. They go very well with seafood, and some raw, shell-​on shrimp stir-​fried along with the garlic right from the start would be an excellent addition. Recently, I've taken to adding a few spoonfuls of tarako or mentaiko - ​Japanese salted pollock roe. Sushi-​style flying fish roe (tobiko) or salmon roe (ikura) would also be a great addition, as would chunks of crab or lobster meat, or even Western-​style caviar (if you're feeling flush).

Categories     quick, weeknight, noodles, pastas, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
20 medium garlic cloves, minced or smashed in a mortar and pestle
4 teaspoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons light soy sauce or shoyu
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 pound dry spaghetti
1 ounce grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (heaping 1/4 cup)
A small handful of thinly sliced scallions (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a wok or saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce and fish sauce, and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring 1 1/2 inches of water to a boil in a 12-​inch skillet or sauté pan over high heat. (Alternatively, heat up just enough water to cover the spaghetti in a large Dutch oven or saucepan.) Add the pasta, stir a few times to make sure it's not clumping, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente (about 2 minutes short of the recommended cook time on the package).
  • Using tongs, transfer the cooked pasta to the garlic sauce, along with whatever water clings to it. (Reserve the pasta water in the skillet.) Increase the heat to high, add the cheese to the wok, and stir with a wooden spatula or spoon and toss vigorously until the sauce is creamy and emulsified, about 30 seconds. If the sauce looks too watery, let it keep reducing. If it looks greasy, splash some more cooking water into it and let it re-​emulsify. Stir in the scallions (if using), and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for fresh garlic, flavorful parmesan cheese, and high-quality noodles.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many noodles or vegetables to the pan at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: This means that they should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a good quality parmesan cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a cheese that is flavorful and has a nutty taste.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. Try adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices to create your own unique dish.

Conclusion:

This creamy garlic noodles recipe is an easy and delicious meal that can be prepared in just 30 minutes. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual lunch. The creamy sauce is made with garlic, butter, cream, and parmesan cheese, and it's tossed with cooked noodles and vegetables. The result is a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this creamy garlic noodles recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
