Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g noodles (preferably egg or wheat noodles)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 fresh red chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare Garlic Chili Sauce: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped chilies, sautéing until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the garlic and chili mixture. Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar, tossing everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the aromatic sauce.
  4. Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Serve the noodles hot, garnished with additional chopped chilies or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use rice noodles and gluten-free soy sauce.
  • You can add vegetables or protein such as tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a more substantial dish.
  • Cook garlic and chili gently to avoid burning and bitterness.
