Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Soak the 4 oz glass noodles in warm water until soft, about 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 3 minced garlic cloves and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add the 1 lb cooked crab (shells on or off) and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until heated through and slightly golden at the edges.

  4. Step 4

    Add the drained noodles, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp oyster sauce. Toss everything together for 2 minutes, until the noodles are evenly coated and glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Add the 2 cups lettuce and stir-fry for 1 minute, just until the lettuce wilts slightly but still has crunch. Serve hot.
