    I get that the NYT wants people to subscribe to their cooking but if you're going to publish a video how about putting the recipe in the description or at least saying the amounts of each ingredient?
    I'm a subscriber so here you go:
    Yield:
    4 servings
    4 tablespoons unsalted butter
    20 medium garlic cloves, minced or smashed in a mortar and pestle
    4 teaspoons oyster sauce
    2 teaspoons light soy sauce or shoyu
    2 teaspoons fish sauce
    1 pound dry spaghetti
    1 ounce grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (heaping ¼ cup)
    A small handful of thinly sliced scallions (optional)

    Hey Kenji! I live in the SF Bay Area and LOVE these noodles when they are made right. Always one of my favorites. But some restaurants have no clue, so I am glad you showed this method.
    I made this today to your specs and BOOM! This is awesome! Amazing!
    What is important is regulating the pasta doneness properly because of the two phases of cooking. I cheated and practiced on a half batch. You HAVE to keep an eye on the doneness of them noodles.
    I made it again later have sauteed chicken breast added as a protein, but served with some stirr fried bell peppers, green beans, onion in hoisin etc., and of course more garlic!
    I normally keep pre-minced garlic in a jar around, but not for this dish. Fresh garlic only!
    This came out just perfect! very easy and total time to make is about 15 minutes. Simple! Thank you!

    On my first visit to San Fran over 20 years ago, someone said I should dine at Crustacean. Had the prawns with garlic noodles and it was a religious experience. I've made it at home using another recipe, but never as good. Now I have some homework to do.

    was watching this and thought "holy shit. I have ALL of this stuff in my kitchen right now." Thats a rarity for me when I watch recipe videos lol. went downstairs and made this immediately. game changer. I usually just make some instant ramen when im hungry and lazy - but ive been looking for an alternative because ... well lets be honest. too much instant ramen is bad for ya. This right here might just be a decent replacement

    I love cooked garlic. I don't love raw garlic. For anyone that thinks they don't like garlic that may be the issue. If you soak raw garlic or onion in cold water or lemon juice it calms it down. Garlic can also be quickly blanched to calm it down, as well.
    My fav long pasta is linguine. It makes me happy :)

    Thanks Chef! I was looking for a meatless Monday idea and this fits the bill perfectly. I’ll also take a look see at the version that you have in your book . I was considering grating the garlic on a ceramic grater instead of crushing it in a mortar and pestle but am concerned that may make it too strong and bitter. We’ll see.

    I remember there was a Vietnamese place in SF on 9th and Judah called Dragonfly that included noodles whenever you ordered their garlic crab. Sadly closed down quick, despite an awesome crab/noodle combo. The noodles that came when you ordered the crab were awesome because for those servings they would incorporate the crab innards into the noodles.
