*If you prefer to use the Fly by Jing noodle packages like I did, then you can omit the soy sauce and chili crisp I list as ingredients below. Otherwise, be sure to include them!
- 2 servings noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- Salt, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Parmesan cheese and basil, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the halved cherry tomatoes, cut side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they blister and caramelize. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and fry until slightly golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or burn the garlic. Once done, remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain. Season lightly with salt.
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In the same skillet used for the tomatoes, add the heavy cream, soy sauce, and chili crisp (or if using Fly by Jing noodles, omit the soy sauce and chili crisp and instead use the seasoning packets). Stir well and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture is heated through and combined.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the creamy sauce, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly. Stir in the blistered tomatoes.
- Plate the noodles and top with the golden garlic chips. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil for an extra touch of flavor.
