Chilli Garlic Noodles – An easy and tasty meal in 10min!

The very first thing I’ve ever cooked on my own were noodles. A simple bowl of boiled noodles tossed in dressing. Since then, I’ve made countless bowls because it’s quick, easy, cheap and deeply satisfying.

So if you are a carbohydrate and spice lover like me, you will love this simple but delicious bowl of noodles tossed in a spicy chilli oil and garlicky dressing. It comes together in under 10 minutes and only requires a handful of Chinese pantry staples.

Make it your own

Both fresh or dried noodles will work and the toppings are completely customizable. However, I would not suggest using Italian spaghetti here, it just won't be the same.

And I highly suggest making it into a balance meal by including some greens and protein. And the one protein that I always have on hand are eggs. Whether poached or fired, an egg with runny golden yolk is the perfect accompaniment.

The chilli oil

One thing that I am going to insist upon is the chilli oil, use a good quality one that suits your spice tolerance. My homemade chilli oil is salt-free, but if yours has salt, I would decrease the amount of soy sauce added.
