Crustacean Inspired Garlic Noodles Recipes

CRUSTACEAN-INSPIRED GARLIC NOODLES AND ROASTED CRAB

Steps:

• Rinse the yellow noodles with running water to discard the oil from the noodles. Drain and set aside.
• Heat up a pot of water until boiling. Add the noodles into the boiling water and cook the noodles. Do not overcook as the noodles will turn soggy. Transfer the noodles out and drain dry.
• Prepare the garlic sauce using a saute pan on medium to low heat. Add the butter into the pan and when it melts, add the garlic and saute until aromatic but not browned. Add all the seasonings into the pan, stir to combine well. Transfer the garlic sauce into a small bowl.
• To serve, just toss all the noodles with the garlic sauce. Add the cheese, toss to combine well. Serve immediately.
• Clean and chop the crab into small pieces. Heat up the butter in a wok (between medium to low heat) and saute the garlic until aromatic, but not brown. Add in the black peppers, chicken bouillon powder, and then add in the crab and stir well. Add in the sugar and cook the crab until half done.
• Dish out and bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes. Serve hot with garlic noodles.

ASIAN GARLIC NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles/pasta according to package instructions. If using fresh noodles, you may simply need to blanch them. (Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, as you may need it in the sauce later.)
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until lightly caramelized, and stir in the turmeric (if using), oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir for 1 minute and add the scallions.
• After 30 seconds, to let the scallions wilt, toss in the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the noodle cooking water to loosen them up. Serve!

HONEY-GARLIC NOODLES

Steps:

• Make the sauce:
• In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Stir and set aside.
• Make the noodles and friends:
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions. When 1 minute of cooking time remains and the noodles are softened but firm, drain.
• In a wok, heat the sunflower oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles and ginger and stir-fry for 2 minutes, keeping the noodles moving the entire time.
• Pour in the sauce and cook for 1 minute, tossing to ensure that the noodles are completely coated. Turn off the heat.
• Toss in the scallions, squeeze the juice of the halved lime on top, and sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Give everything a good toss to mix and combine.
• Serve with the lime wedges and fresh cilantro or spicy greens.
