Instructions

Cook Noodles: Prepare the lo mein or yakisoba noodles according to the package directions, then drain thoroughly and set aside to keep warm.
Heat Oils and Butter: In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add the sesame oil followed by the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely before proceeding.
Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add Noodles: Incorporate the cooked noodles into the skillet and toss them gently to coat evenly with the oils and garlic.
Combine Sauces and Seasoning: Stir in the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce (if using), brown sugar, and ground black pepper. Toss all ingredients together to ensure the noodles are well coated.
Caramelize and Finish: Cook the sauced noodles for 2 to 3 minutes, tossing occasionally until they are slightly caramelized and flavorful.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds, and serve hot for best enjoyment.

Notes

Add sautéed vegetables, shrimp, or chicken to turn this noodle dish into a complete meal.
Use oyster sauce for a deeper umami flavor or omit it for a simpler, vegetarian version.
These noodles reheat well, making them ideal for meal prep and leftovers.
