  • 150 g noodles (any kind)
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 green onion (scallions or spring onions)
  • 3 tbsp red chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (light or regular)
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup water

INSTRUCTIONS
 

Prep

  • Finely chop garlic and thinly slice green onion. Keep green part of the onion separately for garnish
  • Mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce and water in bowl. This makes it easy while cooking

Make the Sauce

  • On low flame, fry the garlic and white part of the green onion in 2 tbsp cooking oil until they turn golden
  • Add the red chili flakes. Fry until fragrant ensuring the chili doesn't burn
  • Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, water mixture and simmer until thick, about 3 minutes

Stir Fry Noodles

  • Add the drained noodles and stir fry for 2 minutes
  • Garnish with green onion and toasted sesame seeds

NOTES

Tips

  • The chili garlic sauce can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 months in the refrigerator
  • Seared meat/shrimp/tofu/vegetables can be added to this dish to make it wholesome and delicious
  • Be careful to not overcook the noodles or it will turn mushy
  • Thin, egg noodles taste the best but you can switch it up with other noodles too
  • Add or reduce chili flakes to change the spice level
 

Substitutes

  • Oyster sauce: Vegetarian oyster sauce or hoisin sauce works well. If unavailable, use 1/2 tsp soy sauce + 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Light/regular soy sauce: Tamari or coconut aminos works too. If unavailable, use 1/4 tsp vinegar + 1/2 tsp salt
  • Green onions: 1 small onion can used instead of the white part. Basil or cilantro/coriander leaves can be used instead of the green part
