Garlic Noodles

I just recently saw an episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate on Food Network Channel where they featured Garlic Noodles. I got curious how a simple noodle dish can be so good  to be featured on TV. Although, they did not reveal the secret, I found this recipe pretty easy to make. In search for the garlic noodles recipe online, I came across to Budget Bytes. But instead of using the angel hair pasta noodles, I replaced it with fresh chow mein noodles. I do not know if it is because I only made a small batch but it made my husband craves for more. He said it is addicting. Try it yourself  for you to decide.


Ingredients:

½ lb (8 oz) fresh chow mein or angel hair pasta noodles
4 cloves minced garlic
½ bunch of green or spring onions
4 tablespoon of butter
2 teaspoon of soy sauce
2 tablespoon of brown sugar
t teaspoon of sesame oil
2 tablespoon of oyster sauce
2-3 tablespoon of hot water

Cooking Directions:

• Cook pasta as per box directions. If you are using fresh chow mein, no need to boil.
• Mix the oyster sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Make sure that they are all well incorporated. Set aside.
• On a medium skillet or wok, melt the butter under medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and saute until soft but not browned.
• Add the noodles, stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Add 2-3 tablespoon of hot water to loosen the noodles up.
• Add the soy sauce mixture to the noodles. Make sure noodles or pasta is well coated.
• Serve hot. Garnish with spring onions. Enjoy!
