Spicy Chilli Garlic Noodles Recipes

SPICY CHILI GARLIC NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.
• Add the shallots and garlic to a pot and saute with the oil until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the white part of the scallions and the grated ginger and saute for 2-3 more minutes.
• Add in all remaining sauce ingredients and whisk together. Start on the low end of the recommended amounts of sriracha and chili sauce (1 tbsp or less for each). It's very easy to make it more spicy if you want, but if it ends up too spicy for you, it's hard to tone it down! Everyone has different tolerance levels, hence the big ranges.
• When the noodles are done cooking, combine with the sauce and toss until well coated. Let simmer for a few minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the flavors. I also tossed in two diced roasted red peppers, but you can also add in any sauteed veggies you like! Taste and adjust flavors as desired. The first bite might not seem that spicy, but it gets spicier the more you eat, so have a few bites before you decide to add extra sriracha or red chili flakes! Serve as is or with any other vegetables or protein of choice. I love adding in bok choy, carrot or cabbage with chicken or tofu.
• Top with red chili flakes for more spice and the remaining chopped scallions. Enjoy!

SPICY CHILLI GARLIC NOODLES RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making the Spicy Chilli Garlic Noodles recipe, first cook the noodles as per the instructions on the packet, with enough water, salt and oil.
• Put a pot of water with oil and salt, on the heat and bring it to a rolling boil.
• When it boils, turn the heat down, add the noodles to it and cook for 5-6 minutes or as specified on the packet, till it is cooked al dente.
• Take care not to over cook the noodles or they may turn mushy. When the noodles are done, drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Sprinkle a few drops of oil over the noodles and toss well till they are well coated. This will keep the noodles from getting mushy and stuck to each other. Now you can keep them aside for later use.
• To begin making the spicy seasoning, place a heavy bottomed pan on the heat. Add some oil and warm it up. Then add the finely chopped garlic and thin slices of onions and toss on a high heat for a minute.
• Add the capsicum and cook it for about a minute or two.
• Add soya sauce, red chilli sauce, vinegar, tomato ketchup, crushed dry red chilli and mix well. Cook with constant stirring for about 30 seconds till the sauces begin to bubble.
• Add salt to taste, pepper powder and mix well. Bear in mind that the sauce and noodles will already contain saltiness so season accordingly.
• Next, add the cooked noodles to the prepared sauce and toss well to cot the noodles.
• Serve Spicy Chilli Garlic Noodles on its own or with Mushroom Chilli for a weekend meal.
