Hot Sticky Garlic Noodles

This scrumptious garlic noodle dish is impressive. It’s a quick whip-up that is first date worthy. You want the long ass story that has nothing to do with you being hungry?

Me neither.

Time: Noodle dish only, about 15-20 minutes from chop to serve.

Calories: LOL Approximately 675 Calories per serving IF serving for TWO. If you have more restraint than I do, the entire recipe is about 1350 calories. Divide as you wish.

Ingredients:

8 OZ Brown Rice Noodles

1/4 C Butter (salted)

1/3 C Green Onion – chopped

4 cloves Garlic – minced

1-2 T raw Pepper – fine dice. Use the level you like. Poblano-Mild or Serrano-Medium or Thai-HOT

3 T Coconut Sugar

2 T Tamari

1 t Oyster Sauce

Instructions:

Prep Sauce first so the noodles can go into it right away once the noodles are cooked

1. Melt butter over medium-low heat in a medium to large sauté pan.
2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for a minute or two, until fragrant.
3. Add the coconut sugar, tamari and oyster sauce. Then a single dash of salt. Stir to combine.
4. Leave the mixture on low heat while the noodles cook. The noodles cook quickly.

Now the Noodles

1. Prep rice noodles to directions listed on the package. Generally rice noodles are ready in five minutes or less once water is boiling.
2. Once noodles are ready, drain and place noodles in the garlic butter sauce immediately.
3. Mix gently with a bamboo utensil or rubber tongs. Serve warm.
   
   

Ok, What Else Do I Serve With These Amazing Noodles?

I roast broccoli and cauliflower with a bit of oil, salt and red pepper jelly and serve alongside.

I also serve this dish with pork chops, sliced in 1/4″ strips, tossed with oil, red pepper jelly, salt and Thai Peanut crust. Then grill the slices on medium heat for a few minutes each side.

Substitutions?

White rice noodles instead of brown rice? – YES

Brown Sugar instead of Coconut Sugar? – YES, reduce to 2 T

Can I omit the hot pepper? I just want Sticky Garlic Noods. – YES

Do I really need the oyster sauce? – I think so, but I’m not going to tell you you have to use it. It adds umami.

What about other type noodles? – I wasn’t a fan but honestly, I encourage you to try what your palate craves.

Can I use a regular white or yellow onion? I think not. Green onion has a brightness that really compliments the dish. But again…try it if you want.

Can I add more salt? – Taste first. Tamari, butter and oyster sauce already are quite salty.

Enjoy!
