Garlic Noodles San Franisco Style

Everybody is raving about them. They were just a side dish in a Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco for their Dungeness Crab. Now the noodles are the star.



Very easy to prepare and if you love garlic, they will become your favourite. Otherwise keep your hands off them.



I watched a lot of different YT videos in the last week. Today I watched one of my favourite one:



Food Wishes. This is his recipe. He calls the noodle sauce the secret sauce!



On the side a plate of defrosted raw and then marinated white tiger prawns. No crabs to get here anywhere. 

250 g fresh pasta or dry spaghetti

2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tsp Worchester sauce, 2 tsp fish sauce, 

1/4 tsp sesame oil, pinch of red pepper flakes

8 cloves of garlic, 4 tbsp butter

1/4 cup fine grated Parmesan, spring onion greens and more red pepper flakes



Mix the secret sauce before you start with the garlic.

Melt the butter and add the finely minced garlic. On medium low heat give it time of soften. Do not brown it. Add the sauce and stir well and stop the cooking until the pasta is done.



Transfer the pasta with some pasta water to the pan, mix well, add the parmesan and finish on the plate with some spring onion greens.
