Who loves garlic?!
Garlic is something very strong and pungent yet, one of the most powerful ingredients all around the cuisines.
It adds so much flavors no other fragrance veggie can give. It is phenomenal.
In San Francisco, there is a restaurant Than Long where sells roasted crab and garlic noodles.
Their garlic noodles are so popular and famous, something you’ve got to taste if you are ever in San Francisco!
But just because you are not there, doesn’t mean you can’t have the delicious food at home!
The garlic noodles dish is incredible simple!
Originally they make with thick egg noodles (you can also use thick spaghetti) but I just love angel hair pasta for this recipe.
I don’t know I always prefer thin noodles over thick noodles. lol!
But obviously, the thickness of the noodles is not the most important part, so feel free to use whatever you have in your hand or your favorite noodles!
This garlic noodles are umami bomb!
The combination might be a bit weird if you never heard of, but just trust me and get right on!
You know, I’ve never shared a recipe that doesn’t taste good nor just ok-taste recipes.
It is very addictive and goes well with anything and everything!
If you are having a potluck party sometime soon, definitely make this garlic noodles!
You can enjoy garlic noodles with simple pan seared steak, pork chops, shrimp, lobster tail, chicken and more!
I garnished my garlic noodles with fried garlic, just make over the top garlic noodles. lol
Hope you enjoyed my recipe and try at home some time soon!

My husband made this tonight and it was waaaaaayyyyyy too salty. I’d suggest reducing the oyster sauce and fish sauce by at least half.
I’ve been searching for a recipe for Asian garlic noodles after trying them at an Asian owned Cajun seafood restaurant in San Jose. What kind of fish sauce would you recommend? There’s too many to choose from!
Omg! These came out absolutely delicious. This is my favorite recipe thus far. So glad I stumbled upon your good eats.
Had it with steak tips and roasted brussels sprouts. Will have to make them again!
Delicious but CRAAAZY salty! I had to check afterwards to see if I got the measurements right! Cut the fish sauce in HALF!
Hey there! I’ve been following your site for a long time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Dallas Tx! Just wanted to tell you keep up the fantastic job!
Thank you!
