Garlic Noodles

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 0.25 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 ounces spaghetti
  • 0.25 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. 1
    Gather all ingredients. Stir soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl for the secret sauce.
  2. 2
    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Quickly stir in the secret sauce and turn off the heat.
  3. 3
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet slightly firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  4. 4
    Transfer spaghetti into the sauce using tongs, bringing some of the cooking water with it. Toss until well coated; stir in Parmesan cheese. Splash in more pasta water if noodles are too dry.
  5. 5
    Plate noodles; garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes.
