Ingredients
- 8 oz noodles (spaghetti, ramen, or egg noodles)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp dark soy sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds, chili flakes, grated parmesan
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve a few tablespoons of cooking water.
- In a large skillet or wok, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), brown sugar, and sesame oil. Mix well until smooth.

Notes
- Use any type of noodles—spaghetti, ramen, or egg noodles all work.
- Oyster sauce gives the best umami flavor, but hoisin or soy sauce can substitute.
- Add chili oil or Sriracha for spice.
- Toss in protein like shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a complete meal.
- Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or butter for the best texture.
