Yard House Chinese Garlic Noodles Recipe
While some people may refer to Yard House’s garlic noodles as “Chinese” garlic noodles, the truth is that these noodles actually go by the name “shiitake garlic noodles”.
Shiitake garlic noodles are composed of a bit of butter, garlic, stir fry sauce, and of course, shiitake mushrooms. All of this is combined with a few other ingredients along with egg noodles (or ramen noodles) to compose an umami-flavored dish that’ll get your mouth watering.
The following is the best way to make Yard House garlic noodles at home:
- Cook your egg noodles (or ramen noodles, if you can’t find them) according to the package directions.
- Melt butter completely over a skillet set on medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and sauté them until they develop a brown color.
- Douse your mushrooms with a teaspoon of soy sauce (don’t overdo it, though, as this will cause the dish to become too salty).
- To your mushrooms, add fresh garlic, shiitake mushrooms, and Lee Kum Kee’s vegetarian stir fry sauce (or whatever other stir fry sauce you may have on hand)
- Continue to cook this mixture until it is fully cooked through being careful not to burn it.
- Once fully cooked through, add your cooked egg noodles (or ramen noodles) to the pan and toss until the noodles are fully coated.
- Garnish the finished dish with a little bit of fresh parmesan and chopped chives.
