GARLIC NOODLES

One of the sauces I bought was an oyster sauce which is an excellent condiment for anything from noodles or rice to fish and meat. Oyster sauce gives these garlic noodles a little Asian flair and a lot of depth of flavor. The noodles also have a great balance of salty (from soy sauce) and sweet (from brown sugar) making them a great complement to any main dish. If you don’t have an Asian grocery store in your town, check your local grocers as well. Oyster sauce is more common than you’d think!

These Garlic Noodles are both sweet and savory with a strong garlic punch. They make the perfect side dish to any Asian inspired meal.

INGREDIENTS

• 8 oz angel hair pasta
• 4 cloves garlic 
• 1/2 bunch green onions 
• 4 Tbsp butter 
• 2 tsp soy sauce 
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar 
• 1 tsp sesame oil 
• 2 Tbsp oyster sauce 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the oyster sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil to a bowl and stir until combined.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
