Chili Garlic Noodles

by Anna Chwistek

Chili garlic noodles. Ultra garlicky and full of flavor with a nice spicy kick… these noodles might just become your new favorite go-to meal. A mixture of savory condiments coats bowlfuls of rice noodles packed with contrasting flavors, fresh herbs and crunchy sesame seeds. This dish is quick and easy, done and dusted in 15 minutes.

Saucy, easy, super fast and made with pantry ingredients… and this is how we do it. While the noodles cook, we sweat the garlic and gently heat the chili sauce. Then, we add the noodles to the skillet, toss everything with sesame seeds, scallions and fresh cilantro. Ready!

Use any of your favorite noodles, even pappardelle or linguine will work here great. But if you want a light, delicate, slurpy noodle, use angel hair pasta, spaghetti or ramen noodles. Serve with a fresh cucumber salad and get ready for a flavor explosion. So simple, but so good.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

RECIPE NOTES

  • the chili sauce can be made in advance
  • substitutions are welcome: swap scallions for chives, you can also omit the cilantro
  • it can vary in spice level: for a milder sauce, use only the liquid chili oil and sweet chili sauce
  • sesame seeds are here for texture, but omit them and use crushed peanuts or crispy fried onions
  • it’s great as a main dish on its own, but also delicious with shrimp, chicken, shiitakes or ground pork
  • about the pasta: any will work! use rice noodles, egg noodles, udon, ramen, spaghetti or pappardelle 
  • serve with a fresh cucumber salad drizzled with a soy based dressing
