Ingredients
- Butter (Amount not stated in the source.)
- Garlic (The source mentions that Helen Ahn's recipe uses 12 cloves, but the creator says he used less than that and shows an unquantified amount of garlic.)
- Soy sauce (Amount not stated in the source.)
- Fish sauce (Amount not stated in the source.)
- Oyster sauce (Amount not stated in the source.)
- Linguine (Amount not stated in the source.)
- Water (Pasta water is added while tossing the noodles; amount not stated.)
- Scallion (Used in the noodles and as a green-part garnish; amount not stated.)
- Parmesan cheese (Added after the heat is turned off; amount not stated.)
Steps
- 1
Melt the butter in a pan. Add the garlic and cook it briefly to mellow and cook off its raw flavor; the source does not specify a heat level or cooking time.
- 2
Turn off the heat temporarily once the garlic has cooked.
- 3
Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce to the pan. Stir the sauces together with the butter and garlic.
- 4
Add the linguine to the pan. Turn the heat back on and toss the noodles with the garlic-butter sauce.
- 5
Add a little water while tossing the linguine, loosening the sauce so it coats the noodles. The source does not specify whether this is reserved pasta water or plain water.
- 6
Add the scallion and toss it through the noodles.
- 7
Turn off the heat. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss until incorporated.
- 8
Add a little more water if needed while tossing to loosen the mixture.
- 9
Finish with a few pieces of the green part of the scallion and serve immediately.
Notes
The video does not provide exact quantities, cooking temperatures, or durations. It references 12 garlic cloves as the amount in Helen Ahn's original recipe, but the creator explicitly uses less than that. The amount of pasta water and the precise sauce proportions are also unspecified.
