How To Make
Making chilli garlic noodles is an utterly simple process. But the cooking method is different from the usual wok-fried chilli noodles. Step 1) Boil the noodles in hot water till al-dente or cooked as you like—reserve ¼ cup of boiled noodles water. Step 2) Mix flavouring ingredients (sauces, spices, salt) in a bowl. Add hot boiled noodles and water and whisk nicely to combine. Step 3) Heat oil in a small pan and pour over the sauce. There will be a lot of sizzling and bubbling; stir to combine the ingredients. Step 4) Add boiled noodles, add on ingredients, and toss in the garlic chilli oil sauce. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestion
Chili Oil Noodles are best served piping hot. Add stir-fried bok choi or egg to noodles to make them more wholesome. If you serve these noodles cold or store them in the refrigerator, I highly recommend adding more sesame oil before serving and tossing them nicely. Cold noodles might turn sticky, and a layer of starch/cold oil will form on each noodle. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and reheat chilli oil noodles in a microwave for 2 – 3 minutes.
