Contains Wheat.<br /><br />Great recipe John, thanks for it, I think I will make it this morning and possibly add some fresh salmon which may or may not be a positive addition given the strong flavours. <br /><br />For those who found it salty then I suggest reducing Soy sauce, Fish sauce and the Parmesan cheese as they are all salty ingredients.Millsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01115993361590182223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-39667668844096670272019-10-02T06:50:09.084-04:002019-10-02T06:50:09.084-04:00I regularly cook this when I have people over and ...I regularly cook this when I have people over and want to do something that tastes impressive but easy and quick. It stands up to be expanded in many ways - sliced chicken or pork tenderloin work great (especially if you apply a standard Chinese marinade of to them first). Shrimp is great also. Thinly sliced bell pepper or any other highly coloured vegetable works too. Sliced shiitake mushrooms - especially if reconstituted so you can use the soaking water - add another umanni hit as well. When adding these additional ingredients I generally find it best to cook those a little by themselves, set aside and reintroduce after the garlic has softened a little, but it's very forgiving a perfect for making with a glass of wine in one hand. Finally thrown into a big bowl in the centre of a table full of people it's superb.Cruachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465305982329332326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-67472672186045776832019-08-28T13:13:02.107-04:002019-08-28T13:13:02.107-04:00It would also be interesting to know how you would...It would also be interesting to know how you would adjust the recipe for those of us who don’t shy away from MSG, which would accentuate the flavors and also add/increase the umami component.

And—in my experience—not to salt your pasta water. This isn’t a super salty dish, but it can easily become so if you’re doing both of these things in conjunction. <br />Tonight I halved the pasta and added par boiled broccoli and one chicken thigh for a monster dinner for one. Any leftover sauce is great on eggs.

But I FIXED it by doubling or nearly tripling the amount of spaghetti noodles added to the sauce. Another factor to over-salt is I over-salted the spaghetti cooking water so when adding that pasta AND it's accompanying pasta water it increased salt levels. So next time, I'll NOT salt the pasta water or very little such as 1 teaspoon of salt vs (let's be honest I just dumped) like 1 tablespoon into a gallon of boiling water because my broken salt jar spigot. <br /><br />For those comments that ask what to do if they have Maggi...just swap it out instead of regular soy sauce. Maggi is a type of soy sauce, but it does have a slightly deeper salt flavor, more savory quality than regular soy sauce. Leave the Worchester sauce in. I grew up on Maggi as a kid, and then as an frugal adult mainly use Kinkoman regular and low sodium soy sauce. Take the spirit of Chef John's cooking and be the master of your own dish and think and try things out. I kinda feel sorry that Chef John has to read the same whiny comments over and over but it prob makes him laugh as it does myself. Another example of something illogical is if a sauce is already too salty for your taste, NO, don't cook the sauce longer and reduce it...salt doesn't evaporate with water...that's not how science works. Add more noodles and next time start with less Maggi soy sauce amount -let's say maybe even as little as 1 teaspoon. The recipe warns salt levels should be tailored to each person's taste. You have the power to adjust your culinary adventure! Think carefully, don't be afraid, because it's only food, and you can make it again. Sorry for the rant, I'm letting go and adding an egg to this dish now.theMelodysMeowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589093762808959806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-28325356087395477952019-03-03T17:17:06.561-05:002019-03-03T17:17:06.561-05:00We've made this twice now.

For the second attempt we cut all ingredients in the sauce in half, as well as the garlic. We kept the butter amount the same. It was still quite salty, but definitely a huge improvement.<br /><br />I would suggest anyone finding the original recipe insanely salty to try this idea. In fact, for our next attempt we're going with low sodium soy sauce to try to kick it down another notch.jriemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193404167459513667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-75072762797234818312019-03-02T10:12:56.897-05:002019-03-02T10:12:56.897-05:00TO EVERYONE WHO TRIED IT AND FOUND IT TOO SALTY
I...TO EVERYONE WHO TRIED IT AND FOUND IT TOO SALTY<br /><br />I have tried this recipe then made it 5 more times, experimenting with portions each time. I will share the recipe know with people who found the original Chef John's recipe (love you chef) too salty and almost inedible:<br /><br />First version (THIS ONE INCLUDES MAGGI SEASONING THAT MANY OF YOU ASKED FOR)<br /><br />It's super simple actually. You literally just divide everything by 3, and add 1/2 teaspoon of Maggi seasoning. So it goes:<br />2 tsp soy sauce<br />1 + 1/3 tsp oyster sauce (you can eyeball the 1/3 portion if you don't have the spoon for it)<br />1/2tsp Worchestershire sauce<br />1/3 tsp Asian Fish Sauce<br />Literally a few drops of sesame oil(be careful)<br />a pinch of cayenne (don't change this, it is forbidden)<br />And 1/2 tsp Maggi Seasoning (European version, not from China)<br /><br />IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO MAGGI SEASONING<br />Still use the above measurements but add 1/2 tsp more each soy sauce and oyster sauce.<br /><br />It is now pretty perfect and really really delicious.<br /><br />Extra tip: Put the garlic in with the butter while still melting. When the butter is fully melted, add an extra pinch of cayenne with the garlic. And then add the sauce to stop cooking as usual.<br /><br />Enjoy!Husohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179536399187825114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-71019979775960100032019-02-26T01:46:38.134-05:002019-02-26T01:46:38.134-05:00Dear Chef John; Made this recipe tonight and OMG. ...Dear Chef John; Made this recipe tonight and OMG. Served with chicken and a small salad. I couldn't stop eating the noodles. The left over portion never made it to the fridge. I ate the whole thing Amazing, Thank You. <br />I have to write a brief story, my wife started following you and told me about the recipes you do, I started watching the videos with her and we got to have some incredible dishes her and I. The last couple of years have been tough for me, she passed in 2017 and I remembered the fun we had watching your videos. I started again this year and now have a freezer full of great dishes. You have re awakened the cook in me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am inspired to cook once again and cherish the meals I make. I can always rely on a great recipe, with much love and thanks. Ironically my wife's name is Michelle also. Keep doing what you do, I love it.
