15-Min Chili Oil Noodles

Why you’ll love this recipe

• Instant Gratification: Faster than ordering delivery and significantly more flavorful.
• The “Golden Ratio”: This sauce mix perfectly balances the heat of the chili with the saltiness of the soy and a hint of sweetness.
• Customizable: This serves as a perfect blank canvas for leftover proteins or blanched greens.

Key Ingredients

• Chili Oil: The backbone of the dish; ensure you include the “bits” at the bottom of the jar for texture.
• Minced Garlic: Using fresh garlic provides a sharp, aromatic bite that “wakes up” the soy-based sauce.
• Hand Shaved Dry Noodles: They are thicker, and more texture noodles which is best as they have a rugged surface that holds onto the oil.

✅Quick Tips: Whisk your sauce ingredients in the serving bowl before the noodles finish boiling. Tossing the noodles while they are piping hot helps them absorb the flavors instantly.

Key Steps

• Step 1: Boil a bundle of wheat noodles until they are just tender.

• Step 2: In your serving bowl, combine chili oil, soy sauce, sugar, and fresh minced garlic.

• Step 3: Transfer the hot noodles directly into the bowl, allowing a tiny bit of pasta water to help emulsify the sauce. Toss vigorously with scallions until every strand is glossy and red.
