Vietnamese Garlic Noodles (like Thanh Long and Crustaceans)

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is lower in saturated fat.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Start by chopping garlic into small pieces.

Boil water in a pot.

Add fresh chummy noodles to boiling water; gently break them apart using a fork.

Cook noodles for about 1-2 minutes until loosened; do not over-stir to avoid breaking them.

Turn off the heat and strain the noodles.

In a wok or large frying pan, pour in half a cup of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the chopped garlic to the oil and cook until it releases its flavor.

Add one tablespoon of fish sauce, one tablespoon of oyster sauce, one tablespoon of sugar, and one teaspoon of maggie seasoning to the garlic; stir to combine.

Add the cooked noodles back into the wok; use tongs to toss and coat the noodles with the sauce.

Turn off the heat and add about a fourth cup of parmesan cheese; stir to combine until the noodles are well coated.
