San Francisco garlic noodles are a Vietnamese-American favorite made famous at Thanh Long in San Francisco. The buttery noodles, big garlic flavor, savory sauces and Parmesan make this one hard to put down. 🧄🍜
This version takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and with 20 cloves of garlic, it’s definitely 🔥💯
San Francisco Garlic Noodles
1 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
20 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
½ cup loosely packed freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 ounce)
A handful of diced scallions
Reserved pasta water, as needed
Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Before draining, save at least 1 cup of the pasta water.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Stir until combined.
Add the cooked spaghetti and about ¼ cup of pasta water. Toss until the sauce coats the noodles, adding more pasta water a little at a time if needed.
Turn off the heat. Add the Parmesan and toss until it melts into the noodles. Mix in the scallions and serve.
