San Francisco-style garlic noodles: a ridiculous amount of butter and garlic, oyster sauce, parmesan, and real wok heat.

Get everything measured before the wok goes on. This takes four minutes and none of them are for chopping.

Ingredients

12 oz fresh egg noodles
5 tbsp unsalted butter
10 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
⅓ cup Parmigiano, grated
3 scallions, sliced

Method

Cook the noodles 1 minute short of the package time. Drain and rinse briefly so they don't clump.
Melt the butter in a wok over medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until pale gold and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Don't let it brown.
Add the oyster sauce, soy and sugar. Crank the heat to high, add the noodles and toss hard for 1 to 2 minutes until coated and a little charred.
Kill the heat, toss with the Parmigiano and scallions, and eat immediately.
