Garlic Scallion Noodles

Optional: How about adding shrimp, chicken, beef or pork to this dish? Marinate meat first in a little soy, salt, pepper, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine sugar. Fry the seafood or meat first in a little cooking oil and then remove, set aside. Then fry the aromatics and noodles. Add the meat back into the wok when the noodles are almost done.
You could also add more veggies. But that would totally defeat the purpose of this incredibly unhealthy dish. No egg noodles? Use spaghetti noodles - just boil 1 minute shy of done first.

Ingredients
  

  • 7 ounces skinny dry egg noodles (half the package)
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce

  • Fry the aromatics In wok or large saute pan, heat about 3 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Before the butter gets too hot, add the scallions and garlic. Fry until fragrant, but careful not to let it burn. Slowly frying on med-low heat will flavor the butter. Add brown sugar, fish sauce and oyster sauce. Stir.
