"My Khmer sons both love this soup at our favorite Cambodian restaurant, Chez Sovan, in San Jose, CA," says KLemons. "This is my attempt to match the flavors at home. My oldest son's comment on trying the soup was, Mmm so close, make some more! Serve with warm baguette."

Virtually any noodle will work in this super-simple  recipe. Chef John prefers spaghetti. The savory garlic sauce features soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, cayenne pepper, and lots of garlic. "These deceivingly simple, yet devastatingly delicious garlic noodles were invented back in the '70s at a restaurant in San Francisco called Thanh Long," says Chef John. "Usually served with roasted Dungeness crab, the recipe is a very closely guarded family secret, but after lots of investigation, and even more experimentation. I think this is very close."
