Ingredients
  • 200 g Cooked Noodles (Spaghetti or Udon)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 2 Green Onions
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Preparation

Ensure your noodles are already cooked and drained. This recipe works best with noodles that are slightly warm.

Garlic Butter Sauce

In a large pan or wok, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Noodle Incorporation

Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the garlic butter. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.

Finishing Touches

Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, until the noodles are heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Serving Suggestions

Serve immediately. This dish is great on its own or as a side to grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
