Garlic Noodles

In an attempt to find a new recipe once a week for the family, my daughter stumbled upon this one and it has quickly become a family favorite. So much that we've had it 4 times in the last 2 weeks. One thing I love about this recipe is how easily you can diversify it, from the vegetable to the protein. We've done chicken wings, pork belly and a pork loin. We've done broccoli, bok choy and green beans. All of them turn out amazing.

Garlic Noodles
8 oz Noodles (my favorite are a brand called Thin Kan-To Noodles)
8 garlic cloves, minced 
1 inch of ginger grated
6 stems of green onions, finely chopped
4 Tbsp butter
4 tsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp sesame oil
4 Tbsp oyster sauce

1) Add the oyster sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil into a bowl and stir until combined.
2) Bring pot of water to boil, and cook noodles according to package
3) Melt the butter in a large skillet, once melted add garlic, ginger and 1/2 of the green onions (save other 1/2 for garnish)
4) Remove skillet from heat, add drained noodles and 1/2 oyster sauce to skillet and stir to coat the pasta.
5) We use the same sauce on the meat and the vegetables, (in essence the sauce recipe is double). So cook your vegetable and protein and then cover with remaining sauce.
6) Serve together in a bowl
7) Eat, Repeat and Enjoy!
