Tips for Making My Quick Garlic Noodles
You can use a wide range of noodles for this recipe. Try it with fresh egg noodles, spaghetti, or any kind of rice noodle. Stir the noodles often as you boil them (especially rice noodles) to make sure they don’t stick together.
Use tongs to transfer the noodles straight from the cooking pot to the skillet with the garlic butter. This will add some extra liquid to the sauce to ensure the noodles don’t stick together. If your noodles look too dry after you add everything to the skillet, drizzle in more cooking water from the noodles to thin it out.
If you want to make this a full meal, sauté some chicken or shrimp in the skillet before starting the sauce, then set it aside. Toss the cooked protein into the finished dish.
I like Lao Gan Ma chili crisp, which is what I add to my garlic noodles, but add whatever chili crisp you like (or make your own!) or leave it out for a milder dish.
