Garlic Noodles are an Asain Fusion dish that originated in the 1970s by chef Helen An who worked at Thanh Long restaurant in San Fransisco.

The dish is made by stir-frying noodles together with garlic, oyster sauce and a variety of other ingredients to give the dish an umami flavour. There are many different variations of the dish, some made with butter, brown sugar and parmesan cheese and others made without these ingredients. The key is to have a salty, sweet and savoury element in the dish.

This recipe for Asian Garlic Noodles is made to be a simple and healthy recipe featuring garlic, green onions and an Asian stir-fry sauce.

For this recipe, I use brown rice spaghetti which is made from rice but has the same texture as wheat spaghetti. Rice spaghetti has more of a bite to it and that al dente texture than typical Asian rice noodles, which is delicious for this recipe, but you can really use any kind of noodles.
