This is the recipe I cook when I’m tired, hungry and out of ideas. It uses pantry staples — noodles, garlic, soy, oyster sauce, a knob of butter — and comes together in the time it takes to boil the noodles.
The trick is to bloom a lot of garlic gently in butter and oil so it goes sweet and nutty without burning, then toss the hot noodles straight in with the sauce so everything emulsifies into a glossy coat.
Top with a fried egg and spring onion and you’ve got a proper meal. Full quantities and a couple of upgrades (chilli oil, prawns) in the recipe card below.
