Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Asian noodles or spaghetti (Hakka style noodles recommended)
- 1 bulb garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper, 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
- For extra flavor, you can add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- You can substitute the Asian noodles with regular spaghetti if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of Parmesan cheese to your liking.
