Start by preparing 6 cloves of garlic, using a garlic press to mince them, or chop them if preferred.

Place the minced garlic in a bowl for easy access during cooking.

Cook 1 pound of spaghettini in boiling water for 5 minutes until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a bowl, mix together 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.

Grate about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese using a microplane, being careful not to grate your fingers.

In a wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat until melted.

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat to avoid burning the garlic.

Once the garlic is fragrant, add the drained spaghettini to the wok, ensuring the noodles are separated.

Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles and toss to combine.

Turn off the heat and add the grated parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and well combined.
