Best Garlic Noodles Recipe

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Whole wheat noodles add fiber, while spaghetti is more accessible.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is heart-healthy and lower in saturated fat.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheddar

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

oyster sauce

🥗Healthier: hoisin sauce

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Hoisin sauce provides a similar sweetness without seafood.

Peel the black garlic and chop scallions for garnish.

Break the head of garlic into individual cloves and use a trick to peel them by shaking them in two bowls.

Mince the garlic cloves into small pieces, trying to keep them even for even browning.

Set aside about one clove's worth of minced garlic for later use.

Transfer the minced garlic to a frying pan and add half of the vegetable oil.

Turn the stove to medium-low heat and brown the garlic slowly, stirring periodically for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the browned garlic from heat and let it cool for a bit.

In a beaker, combine the remaining vegetable oil, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, black garlic, fresh garlic, nutritional yeast, and onion powder.

Once the caramelized garlic has cooled, add it to the beaker and blend everything with a hand blender until smooth.

Boil water in a pot and cook the noodles according to the package instructions.

Once the noodles are done, use tongs to transfer them to a bowl, reserving some of the boiling liquid.

Add a few large spoonfuls of the Triple Garlic Sauce to the noodles, then add a ladle full of the reserved boiling liquid and toss everything together.

If the noodles stick together, add more boiling liquid to loosen them up.

Plate the noodles and garnish with chopped scallions and freshly ground black pepper.
