- 140g/ 5oz dried ramen or noodle cakes (2 cakes) – Note 1 for other options
SAUCE:
- 30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp (6 cloves) garlic, finely minced (yep, a lot!)

- 1/4 cup (tightly packed) finely grated parmesan (freshly grated, Note 5)
- 1/4 cup green onion , thinly sliced (~1 stem)
Instructions
- Noodles – Cook the noodles in a large saucepan per packet directions. Scoop out ~1/2 cup cooking water. Strain noodles and set aside.
- Sauce – Melt butter in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until soft. Add oyster sauce, fish sauce, Maggi seasoning and 1/4 cup cooking water. Stir to combine.
- Toss – Add cooked noodles, parmesan and green onion. Toss until the noodles are all coated, and the sauce is not pooled in the bottom of the saucepan. Add more cooking water 1 tbsp at the time, if needed to loosen the noodles.
- Serve immediately!
