Yup, it's a really versatile leftover. One of our favorite uses is in garlic noodles:
Ingredients:
24 oz fresh Chinese yellow egg noodles
1 heaping tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese Water, for boiling the noodles
Garlic Sauce:
3/4 stick unsalted butter
2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic, or more to taste
3 tablespoon oyster sauce*
1/4 tsp MSG*
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 tablespoon green onions, chopped
Any type of meat
Method:
Prepare the garlic sauce using a sauté pan on medium to low heat. Add the butter into the pan and when it melts, add the garlic and sauté until aromatic but not browned. Add all the seasonings into the pan, stir to combine well.
Heat up a pot of salted water until boiling. Add the noodles into the boiling water and cook the noodles until al dente, or for a few minutes. You can taste the texture of the noodles while cooking. Do not overcook as the noodles will turn soggy. Transfer the noodles out and drain dry.
To serve, just toss all the noodles with the garlic sauce. Add the meat and cheese, toss to combine well. Serve immediately.
