A glossy, savory spaghetti that pairs the classic garlic-and-oil technique with rich oyster sauce. Gentle emulsification with starchy pasta water gives the sauce its silky texture; optional soy sauce or sirloin can be added to taste.

Ingredients

250 g Spaghetti
60 ml Olive oil
4 Garlic (Cloves, thinly sliced)
0.25 tsp Chilli flakes
2 tbsp Fresh parsley (Chopped)
3 tbsp Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster Sauce
Salt (A few tablespoons for seasoning the pasta water)
Pasta cooking water (Reserve about 1 cup; add a small ladleful initially and more as needed)
Soy sauce (Optional, to taste; creator suggests dark and light soy sauce)
Sirloin steak (Optional; medium rare, amount not specified)
Rice wine vinegar (Optional; amount not specified)
Spring onion (Thinly sliced; used in the video, amount not specified)
Crispy onions (Optional topping; amount not specified)

Steps

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil and season it with a few tablespoons of salt. Cook the spaghetti for a few minutes less than the package instructions indicate, until it is just short of fully cooked. Before draining, reserve about a cup of the starchy cooking water.
2
Thinly slice the garlic. Chop the parsley and thinly slice the spring onion for the pasta and topping.
3
Add the olive oil to a cold pan. Set the hob to low heat, then add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook gently until the garlic has softened without taking on significant colour.
4
Add the drained spaghetti to the pan and stir to coat it in the oil.
5
Raise the heat to medium and add a small ladleful of the reserved pasta water. Keep the pan and spaghetti moving until the water and oil emulsify into a creamy, glossy sauce. Add more pasta water a little at a time if you want a saucier result.
6
Add the chopped parsley and spring onion and stir them through the pasta.
7
Add the oyster sauce. Cook over low-to-medium heat for about a minute, stirring and moving the pasta so the sauce coats it evenly.
8
Taste and, if desired, add soy sauce and/or extra oyster sauce. The video also suggests rice wine vinegar and beef as optional additions; if using beef, serve it medium rare.
9
Plate the pasta and, if desired, finish with extra sliced spring onion and crispy onions.

Notes

The caption specifies the quantities and core method. Optional soy sauce and medium-rare sirloin are mentioned in the caption; the video additionally mentions rice wine vinegar, spring onion, and crispy onions without amounts. The source does not give a precise amount of reserved pasta water used, or detailed cooking instructions for optional steak.
