Oyster Sauce:

Oyster Sauce is a common condiment used in Asian cooking, especially for stir-fry recipes. It’s made from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and water, then thickened with corn starch. It has a sweet and savory sauce with a deep, earthy flavor. You can purchase oyster sauce at any grocery store or specialty market. A high-quality oyster sauce is naturally dark.

How to Make Garlic Noodles:

There is nothing complicated about this Chilli Garlic Noodles dish. The preparation and cooking process involves chopping, cooking the noodles until al dente, and making the sauce base. Anyone without cooking skills can make this dish.

So here are some steps to follow:

• Second, make the garlic oil by bringing about 1/4 cup of oil with 1/4 cup of thinly sliced garlic to a boil at medium heat. Quickly turn off the heat and set aside. The garlic oil is optional.

• Fourth, in the same skillet, add the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Make sure the noodles are covered with the sauce evenly. No cooking is required!
• Next, add the parmesan cheese, stir to coat.
• Last, serve with chopped green onion, and some of the garlic oil.
