This recipe is very simple, but the result is beyond amazing. Chewy egg noodles tossed in lots of garlic, butter, and the trifecta of umami sauces! It was made well-known by a San Francisco seafood restaurant, Thanh Long, though I believe when I had it, it was at a place called Crustaceans. My memory is blurry, but also, this dish was so popular the multiple seafood restaurants had copied the original! I loved it when I first had it, and so glad to find out it's not hard to make at home!
Perfect as a side dish to a seafood feast, a barbecue, or any meal that is protein-heavy. Heck just serve it with simple grilled shrimp and a side of sauteed greens and it's all you need for a delicious meal!

"8 cloves of garlic" I can already hear my Portuguese parents begging me to make this dish for them, hahaha And who can blame them? Garlic is love. Garlic is life.

Where do they live?

Galric ! " The Italian birth control !"

[@Jane-1509]

@@JimmyTheGreek2000 I eat a raw clove of garlic every morning. Your comment answers many questions I had about my love life 😢😬

[@jamesaloyisius6210]

Great food wisdom here. By the way, at 6:15, she makes the point that adding a little olive oil to the butter gives it better consistency when you mix with with the noodles. Another advantage is that it reduces the burn point for the butter some which will help getting the garlic to caramelize nicely.

[@fireantsarestrange]

Exactly

[@hensonlaura]

Saw a version of this made with minced canned anchovies (& spicy red chili's) sautéed with the garlic-if you're like me, & live where fish sauce does not. You're incredibly likable, and an antidote for the "chefs" 🙄 who specialize in slick, calming videos designed to soothe & beguile, not get people cooking practical, delicious, simple food.Gracias from Baja!

[@michaeltalala]

YESSS I remember Crustacean!! Their garlic noodles is THE BEST ever

[@AskKimJade]

oh yea Crustacean's is amazing! i miss it

[@opwave79]

Perilla on Mission and First St has delish garlic noodles too

[@PailinsKitchen]

Yes I think that's where I went!

[@asianaxeman]

*are the best ever

[@bayareablues2255]

Michael Ta - actually, the recipe came from Thahn Long, the An family's restaurant in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood (same owners as SF and LA Crustacean). Of course, it doesn't matter where you get them - they're fickin' awesome!

[@billwise7407]

Cooked this tonight my 2 greatest critics, my grandkids absolutely loved it they didn't touch the protein just the noodles, great recipe

[@TryingtoFood]

i was literally drooling im gonna make it asap because all i learned in quarantine was cooking

[@mrmoshpotato]

It's an excellent skill. :)

[@theearlybird365]

I love your channel ❤ No only because you make delicious recipes but because I learn techniques and the reason things should go in a certain order to build flavor profiles. Thank you for sharing your skills with us!

[@suzannes5888]

Yes, this orginated in San Fran from Crustaceans (and is quite expensive there) - PPQ2 also makes a very similar version (and is not as pricey as Crusteasans) - SUPER, SUPER yummy....it's great with some shrimp added in. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!! 🥰

[@K1k1Ktina]

I looooveee PPQ2 and Lady on Flos garlic noodles recipe is same as there.. at least for me ❤️❤️

[@GarryD]

Their food truck comes in front of my work. We were addicted.

[@hensonlaura]

Nice tip!

[@craftyqueen4128]

I’m from the bay and still live here made this dish tonight and it was amazing

[@dr.morphinewhite4094]

This looks sooo good. I usually do the same thing with spaghetti noodles, I can't believe I never thought of using noodles for this. Will definitely try this soon!!!

[@anaglk1415]

Your voice is so soothing I could listen to you for hours!

[@heantattlim8233]

This is truly delicious. Cooked it this afternoon, my wife and 9 year-old boy like it so much !! Thank you

[@olivia717]

Made this tonight. Used dried curly flat noodles and they came out so delicious, Pai!

[@donmateoSF]

SF native but moved, I had this from the source many times. Looking forward to trying it. Talk to me about the roast crab with the abundant juices that get poured into the noodles and that will seal the deal. I wouldn't want one without the other!

[@peterdoe2617]

I already know that this will taste just mindblowing! AMAZING! Just sharing this with a friend. Chives could add to or replace the green onions. Very similar, I think, (I'm german) to the italian "aglio e olio". And a stunner, for sure! And, as you've already mentioned: to add some fried cabbage to this, or shrimps, or:.... This will easily make a whole dish. Thanks for sharing from the far north of Germany!

[@remybarry4138]

Since I discovered you, Pai, I've been following you and your recipes. Thank you!

[@TheGoldenChip]

Who needs to eat~! A contented mind is a continual feast. You are the Happy Icon. Your positive energy quench my thirst and ease my hunger............ and of course I love your recipes~!!

I was born and raised in the Bay Area we would always go to thang longs for my dads birthday. So thank you ,for the amazing recipe and the memories.

[@stonecold3697]

Your videos are great. I love watching you cook, and talk about food.

[@JAR2.0]

Pai - I tried your method of making this fantastic dish last evening. Many thanks for sharing it with us as it did turn out great!!! I served it with grilled shrimp and grilled cauliflower which made for a perfect meal.

[@sammendez5623]

Looks like the Thai version of Italian Aglio Olio. To de-tangle the noodles use the defrost function of the microwave or loosen in cold water rather breaking with hands.Its an easy weezy simple dish and I loved it,gonna make it soon.Thanks Pailin.

[@v000000000000v]

she was gonna rinse the noodle in the water to get rid of the oil anyways dunno why she didn't just do that first before breaking the noodles up... lol

[@freedomofnow]

That's exactly what I thought too! Can't wait to try this though. Looks amazing.

[@jttaylor7242]

[@yerlawson5794]

This was so easy and so good! Thanks!

[@TheMrpoet]

I'm a bachelor and I bet I can make this, thanks

[@namelessrose3859]

I’ve made a similar version without using the Asian sauces for many years. I like spaghetti but I can’t eat tomato based sauces. So I had to get creative. I love garlic.

[@Natalie-health-wellness]

I’ve made this so many times and I make far of my own variations and I love it so does everyone else …. Yummmm

[@egonfang]

I remember the first time I had garlic noodles in San Francisco at the restaurant Crustacean. Been obsessed ever since.

[@Jeffffrey0902]

I made this twice last week as my one-dish meals: 1st time added string beans and chicken while using dried udon; 2nd time added okra and shrimp while making my own egg noodles. Both versions were super delicious, but if you're using udon, go easy on seasoning as the noodles themselves are quite salty. Spaghetti also works. Thank you Pai for your recipe! BTW, could you please do some okra dishes? I'm really curious about how the Thai cook the vegetable.

[@ARIZJOE]

I love garlic noodles, or the Italian version with white fish like halibut. Anything would be good with Pai's smile.

[@shugabear35]

Looks so good! You did a great presentation & that lemon gives it a kick.

[@jujub4553]

I enjoy watching you eating the food!!! It makes me feel like I can taste it with you! 😋

[@bulbhorn]

Thank you. This was delicious.

[@robertfleener3902]

[@JudoChefPak]

Wow this is amazing. I love love love garlic, although my specialty is in Korean cooking, the garlic used in this recipe fits right in my wheelhouse! Thank you, you motivated me to get off my ass and start cooking

[@lisaj4441]

I grew up eating at the original restaurant - Thanh Long was their first (casual) restaurant. Boozhee Crusteacean came later. Black folks have been loyal to Thanh Long for decades and you will often hear somebody's grandma calling it "thang long". LOL

[@bootsnsaddle8289]

I LOVE YOUR VIDS !! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

[@matthogan4905]

Just made your Pad See Ew recipe for the first time last night. My first time making Thai food and it came out great! I live in Thai Town in LA and decided I need to take advantage of all the Thai markets around here. This is next on the list!

[@shockalockabocka]

So grateful that my Asian market sells peeled garlic for $3-4 a pound. I haven’t peeled garlic in years!

[@aimeevang3145]

I actually prefer it with spaghetti or angel hair pasta. And it really is so addicting! Can literally eat the whole bowl alone!

[@MathildaFlow]

Good to know because fresh italian pasta is easier to find where I am! 👍🏼😃

[@ellieoreta6548]

Italians might call your version aglio e olio (garlic and oil), which they cook with spaghetti or angel hair noodles ;-)

[@nesileka4668]

Good for you👏🏽

[@dasc0yne]

I do mine with #8 linguini.

[@xIrisMarie]

I tried this with lo main noodles from Safeway because I had no time to go to an Asian grocery store but omg it was perfect 👌🏽 Even better the next day. I made a ton! Made Kahuku style garlic shrimp and *chef's kiss* 💋

[@SunaAoimori]

love her bubbly funny character but also love vegetarian thai recipessssssssss

[@opwave79]

YES! The more garlic the better!

[@kopasz1948]

[@sandywaddell4303]

This looks so delicious! Glad you’ve come through the lockdown period safely. I have a question: where did you find the little clear glass pinch bowls (with pour spouts) that you use for fish sauce, oyster sauce, etc., in almost every video, including this one? Thanks - I’m a big fan of your work.

[@itsDessree]

I just ate, but watching this made me hungry again. LOL. I blame the cheese and the garlic yummmm
