This is one of those elusive quick and easy, yet crazy delicious recipes that uses basic ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. I haven’t attempted the Tea Leaf Salad, although that is on my list (I need to get a jar of fermented tea leaves first-or try making my own!), but I made the garlic noodles straight away. I was beyond excited when the Burma Superstar Cookbook came out. They had just enough substance and chew to be really satisfying and hold the garlicky sauce. The book calls for “wide, flat wonton noodles.” I didn’t see anything marked that way, so I chose fresh Chinese spaghetti, which turned out to be perfect. When I went to the giant Asian supermarket to get fresh noodles, I was overwhelmed by the choices. Choosing the Right Pasta for Your Garlic Noodles Garlic is, obviously, the predominant flavor, so it follows that the recipe calls for a lot of it-4 tablespoons! I used one of my favorite kitchen tools, the Garlic Rocker, which makes quick work of a handful of large cloves. The ingredients list is short and so basic, I’m willing to bet most readers have almost everything needed in their kitchens right now: It’s such a simple dish, but my cravings for it run deep. But then I discovered the Garlic Noodles. Their famous Tea Leaf Salad is what first made Burma Superstar my favorite neighborhood restaurant. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
