Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using pre-cooked egg noodles, gently pull them apart, rinse under cold water, and drain on a paper towel. If using uncooked noodles, boil according to package instructions until al dente, drain, and set aside.
  2. Pound the 8 cloves of garlic into a rough paste to release maximum flavor.
Cooking
  1. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Golden Mountain sauce. Stir well.
  2. In a wok or large frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Add the pounded garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Increase the heat to high. Add the cooked noodles and the sauce mixture, tossing for 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Stir in the 35 grams of Parmesan cheese and lemon juice if desired. Toss gently until melted and well-combined.
  5. Plate the noodles and garnish with freshly ground black pepper and chopped green onions. Serve with a lemon wedge.
