Over the weekend I had P.F. Chang’s Garlic Noodles for the first time. They were really good!
We went on a double date with my brother and his wife and she ordered the garlic noodles. Even though they’re not on the menu they will still make them.
The cucumbers with the garlic noodles are what did it for me. I love cucumbers!
Garlic noodles are great for a side dish or lunch. You could also add some chicken breast to make a filling meal out of it.
There are a few ingredients you need that aren’t necessarily pantry staples. It’s ok though because you’ll want to make these noodles more than once!
I bought Chinese noodles but you can also use spaghetti noodles if you already have them.
How to make Garlic Noodles (P.F. Chang’s copycat recipe):
The first thing I did was boiled water and cooked the noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain and set them aside.
Heat a wok or skillet and add the sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken broth, sugar, vinegar, chili paste, oyster sauce and sherry cooking wine.
In a small bowl mix together the cornstarch and water. Once the chicken broth starts to simmer add in the cornstarch mixture. Stir together and cook for two minutes, once the sauce has thickened.
Put the noodles back in the skillet and mix together. Serve on a plate or platter with the cucumbers.
