The recipe really needs only 2 TEAspoons of soy sauce and NOT 2 tablespoons. Even without the parmesan it was was waay waaay too salty and other comments on the allrecipes said so too. Mad it a second time with 2 teaspoons and it was amazing!

[@sunnydee196]

Asian from San Francisco here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve been making garlic noodles for years and after trying this recipe, which is fine, I still prefer the original: Mix sauce together: 1T Golden Mountain (or soy) sauce 1T Fish Sauce 1T Oyster Sauce (oyster should be the 1st ingredient) - set aside Melt over low heat: 3T butter 1T olive oil Continually stir 8 (or more!) cloves freshly grated garlic to butter and cook about 3 min until the garlic is soft but not brown. Add 600g cooked chewy noodles (egg noodles, or spaghetti works fine too) Coat it well with the garlic butter. Then stir in the sauce. Take it off the heat and add 35g fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Plate up! Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper, sliced green onions and a lemon wedge to lightly squeeze over the noodles and add a brightness to the heaviness of the butter. Don’t use jarred garlic or store “Parmesan” in a shaker. Freshly grated makes a huge difference! This comes out perfect every time!
