Ingredients

2 servings

140 g / 5oz dried ramen or noodle cakes ((2 cakes) - Note 1 for other options)
30 g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp (6 cloves) garlic, finely minced ((yep, a lot!))
2 tsp oyster sauce ((sub vegetarian oyster sauce))
2 tsp fish sauce ((sub soy sauce - Note 2))
1 1/2 tsp Maggi seasoning ((sub soy sauce - Note 3))
1/4 cup noodle cooking water (, more if needed (Note 4))
1/4 cup (tightly packed) finely grated parmesan ( (freshly grated, Note 5))
1/4 cup green onion (, thinly sliced (~1 stem))

Steps

Noodles - Cook the noodles in a large saucepan per packet directions. Scoop out ~1/2 cup cooking water. Strain noodles and set aside.
Sauce - Melt butter in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until soft. Add oyster sauce, fish sauce, Maggi seasoning and 1/4 cup cooking water. Stir to combine.
Toss - Add cooked noodles, parmesan and green onion. Toss until the noodles are all coated, and the sauce is not pooled in the bottom of the saucepan. Add more cooking water 1 tbsp at the time, if needed to loosen the noodles.
Serve immediately!
Serving suggestion: fried egg and broccolini cooked with the noodles*, tossed with Asian Sesame Dressing you always have in your fridge. :)* Broccolini takes about 3 minutes, so put it into the water before/after/with the noodles depending on the noodle cooking time.
