Ingredients

12 ounces thin spaghetti ((340g; can also use dried Chinese noodles or fresh egg noodles))
salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic ((peeled and thinly sliced))
1/8 teaspoon turmeric ((optional))
1 tablespoon oyster sauce ((or vegetarian oyster sauce))
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1-2 teaspoons brown sugar ((depending on your taste))
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1-2 whole scallions ((chopped))
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

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!

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

¼ cup oil, divided, or as needed
3 large eggs
3 ½ cups trimmed and chopped fresh green beans
5 mushrooms, sliced
1 green bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
1 (10 ounce) package egg noodles
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon doubanjiang (soybean paste)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 ½ teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
1 medium spring onion, finely sliced

Steps:

Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Pour into the skillet and stir-fry quickly until lightly set, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large plate. Set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat. Add green beans, mushrooms, bell pepper, and carrot; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large plate; set aside.
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until they are just starting to soften, but are still pretty firm, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse cooked noodles under cold running water. Drain and separate. Transfer to a bowl and add just enough oil to coat the noodles so they won't clump together.
Whisk water, light soy sauce, soybean paste, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and sesame oil together in a bowl until sauce is well combined.
Combine cooked noodles, vegetables, eggs, and sauce in the same wok and stir fry over medium-high heat until everything is warmed through and noodles and vegetables are cooked to your liking, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately sprinkled with spring onions.
