The An family that owns and operates two well-regarded Vietnamese restaurants in California often are credited with the creation of the dish known simply as “garlic noodles.” Buttery, umami-rich and intensely garlicky, the noodles are not traditional Vietnamese fare, but were such a hit many other Vietnamese restaurants now offer them. This recipe is our version of those noodles, but we’ve added mushrooms and scallions to round out the dish. Use dried Asian noodles with a hearty chew, such as lo mein or udon; in a pinch, linguine works, too.

Hi Lydia -

We understand that it's helpful to know the nutritional information for recipes. However, since we are not a health food magazine we do not have a nutritionist on staff to accurately calculate the nutritional details for all of our recipes. I would suggest using a smartphone app or website into which you can enter ingredients and get some nutritional information. These aren't 100% accurate (which is why we can't use them and publish their results), but they should give you a general picture of the nutritional details of a dish.

Best,

Adding more garlic, soy sauce (or Maggi) and fish sauce take the dish closer in taste to the Vietnamese garlic noodles.
