An aromatic blend of garlic and cilantro that is flavorful and perfect for a satisfying your craving for a spicy noodle dish! 🌶️🍜✨
Ingredients
- 6 ounces ramen noodles or chow mein noodles
- 5-6 tbsp chili oil (adjust to taste)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- 3 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Noodles: Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Aim for a slightly firmer texture than al dente. Drain the noodles and toss them with olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix together chili oil (ensure you grab a good ratio of ingredients and oil), soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Adjust the chili oil quantity according to your spice preference.
- Sauté Garlic: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until aromatic.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the partially cooked noodles to the skillet. Mix thoroughly with the sautéed garlic.
- Pour Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles. Toss and mix thoroughly, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Finish Cooking: Continue cooking the noodles in the skillet, tossing frequently, until they reach your desired consistency and have absorbed the flavors of the sauce. This usually takes a few minutes.
- Garnish: Turn off the heat. Mix in chopped cilantro and most of the chopped green onions. Reserve some green onions for garnish.
- Serve: Plate the garlic chili oil noodles, garnishing with the remaining green onions. Add extra chili oil or soy sauce if desired. Pairs great with Miso Chicken
