PF Chang`s Garlic Noodles Recipe

Didn't turn out good at all. I used rice vermicelli and the noodles turned to mush. Probably need to use something other than rice noodles. The taste was not good either. Maybe if the cantaneese sauce was left out it would be better.

Exactly! The Cantonese sauce needs to left out or changed. This recipe is listed as 'meatless' - however the sauce used has chicken base powder and oyster sauce (not listed as vegetarian- oyster sauce) in it. Therefore, it is not meatless!!!!

CDKitchen Note: This is listed as meatless, NOT vegetarian, in that it doesn't contain a protein like chicken or beef, etc. If it was vegetarian it would be listed as such.

Do you put both oils in the wok at the same time, or do you stir the sesame oil in with the vinegar and sugar. Also, the recipe calls for 4 ounces Cantonese stir fry sauce, but doesn't tell you when to put it into the wok. Please clarify this recipe's directions please. Thanks

I made this recipe two times already. The first time I missed the chicken base in the recipe. It came out good. But I added more sesame oil, more garlic and more oyster sauce then what the recipe called for. I wasnt too sure when to add the stir fry sauce because it didnt say when to. I added it at the end. This time I added chicken base and adjusted the seasonings to my taste. Its very close to the recipe at pf changs. I eat there all the time. Its very good....Also I made with with fresh noodles cooked 3/4's done. Other wise I would think it would turn to mush..Will make again..:)

This recipe is fantastic. It tastes just like PF Changs. That's not saying much, people put too much faith in the chinese food from a restaurant owned by a guy named Paul Flemming (that's the PF part.) But I digress, the stirfry sauce thing? You are supposed to STIRFRY the noodles with it. Who could've guessed. Cook the sauce first, you need to get it hot enough for the cornstarch to thicken the sauce. I always double the sauce, as it makes the noodles taste good. As far as the oils go? The first oil goes ON the noodles after boiling them. This makes them nonstick. The sesame oil goes IN the sauce (maybe that's why it's listed under the SAUCE part.) Please don't knock a recipe because you can't use common sense...
