Method
- Fill a large pot about three-quarters full with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. This is essential for cooking the noodles properly.
- Carefully pour the 2 cups of noodles into the boiling water. Stir gently with a fork to prevent clumping. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until they reach al dente texture.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander to remove excess water. This prevents the butter from becoming diluted.
- Transfer the hot, drained noodles into a mixing bowl. Slice the tablespoon of butter into smaller pieces and distribute them over the hot noodles for even melting.
- Gently stir the noodles until the butter has completely melted and coated each strand in a glossy, golden goodness.

Notes
The key to perfect butter noodles is ensuring the noodles are hot when the butter is added. You can also add a pinch of salt or garlic powder for extra flavor. Experiment with different noodle shapes and consider adding vegetables or protein for a more complete meal.
