Fat Camp Friday #24: Almost Famous Garlic Noodles

On April 15, 2011

Do you recognize these noodles? You should if you frequent PF Chang’s China Bistro. Garlic noodles. They come as an optional side item and I recommend getting them every time, because they are delicious. Good news is, I now know how to make them at home.

If you haven’t had these before, they boast a tanginess with a hint of sweetness and even some heat. All of these flavors blend together for culinary goodness. Toss in a few cucumbers for a little freshness and you’ve got a killer side dish to any asian meal. Heck, I would eat these sans main dish.

Why “Almost Famous“? Food Network Magazine does an Almost Famous feature every month where they take famous restaurant recipes and make the copycat version. I just copied their feature.
