The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Copycat Crustacean Inspired Garlic Noodle
- add review
- #86550

ingredients
1 pound Asian style egg noodles (fresh, not dried)
4 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
directions
Cook noodles as directed in package and set aside. Melt butter in a pan over medium low heat then add smashed garlic and saute for 5 minutes. You want to infuse the butter with garlic but do not want to brown them as it will be bitter. Adjust heat if you need.
Discard garlic. Add fish sauce and oyster sauce to the butter, stir and mix. Add cooked noodles and parmesan cheese and toss.
cook's notes
I personally like Japanese Yakisoba noodles that comes in three small pouches in one bag. Boil 3/4 cups of water for all three pouches, add noodles and cook until all the water is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes

I've eaten at Crustaceans and at the one out in the Avenues. This is very similar - not perfect, but close enough to pass. Thanks!!

In Vietnamese and Chinese cooking, obviously MSG is not ideal but it is part of the ingredients. So if you're up for trying to make it similar to the real thing, then MSG and sugar are two ingredients you should add. Make sure to add a lot of Parmesan cheese and you do not have to scoop out the garlic if you let it simmer for a while and avoid the browning.

FANTASTIC RECIPE!!! Cooks in just a few minutes so I'll be making it for a quick meal more often.

I had to use dried noodles not fresh because I don't have a good Asian market near me. I had all the other ingredients though. This turned out lovely

The reciepe is easy to make. Tastes ok. Rather expensive if you dont have the ingredients on hand and not even close to Crustacean's garlic noodle. Not enough butter, not enough garlic, minced garlic should be added and the worng kind of noodle. I'm looking for another recipe.

I have visited Crustacean, San Francisco often. If I didn't cook this receipe myself, I wouldn't have known the difference. This receipe was excellent!
