Recipe: Garlic Butter Noodles

GARLIC BUTTER NOODLES

7 ounces dry egg noodles
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped green onion (scallions)
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Maggi Sauce (or soy sauce)
1 tablespoon vegetarian oyster sauce

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and wipe the pot clean.

Return the pot to medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter is sizzling and bubbling a bit, add the green onion and the garlic. Fry for 1 minute until very fragrant, be careful not to let the garlic burn.

Add the brown sugar, Maggi Sauce and oyster sauce and stir well to mix everything evenly. Add the noodles and toss vigorously to get the good stuff evenly distributed throughout the noodles.

Dish out into a large bowl, grab a pair of chopsticks, hide in the closet and enjoy.

VARIATIONS:
Use this recipe as a base for adding other ingredients. Try frying a handful of sliced fresh shitake mushrooms with the green onions.
