Ingredients

  • 20 oz. yellow noodles
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • water for boiling the noodles

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Maggie seasoning sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Crustacean-inspired Roasted Crab Recipe:

  • 1 Dungeness Crab about 2 lbs. (800 g)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter 8 tablespoons
  • 3-4 cloves garlic chopped coarsely
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper cracked using a mortar and pestle
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • 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.
