ASIAN GARLIC NOODLES (QUICK & EASY)
Super easy and garlicky noodles that I love making with wonton noodles. Of course any kind of pasta would work with this too. An excellent dish to eat on its own, but great when paired with simple seafoods too.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles/pasta according to package instructions. If using fresh noodles, you may simply need to blanch them. (Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, as you may need it in the sauce later.)
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until lightly caramelized, and stir in the turmeric (if using), oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir for 1 minute and add the scallions.
- After 30 seconds, to let the scallions wilt, toss in the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the noodle cooking water to loosen them up. Serve!

GARLIC NOODLES
These deceivingly simple, yet devastatingly delicious garlic noodles were invented back in the '70s at a restaurant in San Francisco called Thanh Long. Usually served with roasted Dungeness crab, the recipe is a very closely guarded family secret, but after lots of investigation, and even more experimentation, I think this is very close.

Steps:

- Transfer spaghetti into the sauce using tongs, bringing some of the cooking water with it. Toss until well coated and stir in Parmesan cheese. Splash in more pasta water if noodles are too dry.
- Plate noodles. Garnish with red pepper flakes and green onions.

Tips:
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic provides a more robust flavor to the noodles.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the noodles, add them in batches to prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the noodles from sticking.
- Add the vegetables last: Add the vegetables at the end of the cooking process to ensure they remain crisp.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Overcooked noodles will become mushy and lose their texture.
- Serve immediately: Garlic noodles are best served immediately after cooking to retain their flavor and texture.
