Ingredients

250 grams noodles
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon oil
3 tablespoon garlic (8-10 cloves)
⅓ cup noodle cooking water
½ cup tightly packed parmesan freshly grated
½ cup green onion sliced (~1 stem)

SAUCE

2 teaspoon oyster sauce (sub vegetarian oyster sauce)
1.5 tablespoon fish sauce
3 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Make the stir-fry sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar.
Cook noodles as per package instructions. ( no need to salt the cooking water, as the recipe contains lots of salty sauces. You can adjust the salt towards the end if needed).
Melt butter and oil in a wok or skillet. When lightly warm, cook garlic on low heat until light golden brown color. Keep a close eye towards the end to avoid burning garlic. Reserve 2 teaspoons of crispy garlic for garnish.
Quickly add the prepared sauce, 1/3 cup noodles cooking water. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Add cooked noodles and pepper. Toss well to coat with sauce.
Finish it off with grated parmesan cheese and sliced green onion. Toss again. (check seasoning and add more salt if required).
While serving garnish with reserved crisp garlic, sliced green onion, and more parmesan cheese.

Notes

Use fresh and finely grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Pre-grated parmesan cheese often has an anti-caking agent.
Use finely minced garlic. Don't crush garlic into a paste, as it will stick to the pan. You can also use thinly sliced garlic.
