Ingredients

  • 16 oz wide rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

To prepare chili garlic oil

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions white part
  • 2 tablespoons crushed red chili flakes
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ginger grated
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions, drain the water, and rinse them in cold water. Keep it aside.
  • To prepare chili garlic oil: Heat a skillet on medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is heated, add garlic and green onions and saute for a minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the remaining ingredients into the hot oil; crushed red chili flakes, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Place the noodles in a large bowl and add the prepared chili garlic oil, along with the green onions and cilantro. Toss the noodles and mix them well with the chili oil.
  • Garlic the noodles with more fresh cilantro and green onions and serve it warm.

Notes

  • For more authentic flavor, use Knife-cut noodles or biang biang noodles. Substitute any wide noodles in their absence. 
  • Cook noodles according to the package directions. 
  • Don’t overcook the noodles; they will cook more when added to the hot oil. 
  • Adjust the heat level by lowering the amount of red chili flake. You can also omit the cayenne pepper. 
  • Prep all of your sauce ingredients ahead of time as it goes quickly. 
  • Don’t let the garlic or chili flake burn, or you will have a bitter dish. 
  • Add additional veggies if desired. 
  • Stir in your favorite protein, thinly sliced chicken, ground meat, shrimp or tofu. 
  • Top with a fried egg for delicious flavor.
