COOKING PROCESS
Start by draining the noodles well to remove any excess water.
In a saucepan, heat 3–4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Next, season with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Taste and adjust with a pinch of salt or sugar if needed.
For a bit of heat, add 1 tablespoon of chili flakes and 1 teaspoon of paprika—this step is optional but adds a nice kick.
Stir everything for about 30 seconds, then add the drained noodles. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Finish by topping with chopped scallions. And that’s it—your garlic butter noodles are ready to enjoy!
