Chinese Garlic Noodles Recipe

We´re not sure, if our recipe for garlic noodles is originated in China, possibly it could has been created by chinese expatriates in the USA. Nevertheless this chinese noodle recipe is one of the most delicous pasta dishes we ever came across. Noodles with garlic, indeed we´ve been sceptical, but while we whirled the noodles around in the hot wok, suspense-packed watched by our boys, the fragrance was just mouth-watering. Our kids couldn´t stop to try the delicious noodles and it was hard enough to rescue a plate of that delicacy for the food photography. All we can say is, the chinese garlic noodles are a real Foodie´s delight. We used chinese egg noodles, also known as Bami, Mie or Bakmi, but You can also use italian pasta, like spaghetti or spaghettini.
