garlic noodles
Buttery aromatic strands
Garlic noodles are a dish of Asian noodles—typically egg noodles or lo mein—tossed in butter, soy sauce, and generous amounts of minced garlic.
The dish originated in Vietnamese-American restaurants in San Francisco and has become a popular side at Asian fusion spots: We ordered the garlic noodles with our crab.
Often finished with parmesan cheese, which adds umami despite the cultural clash.
