Ingredients

  • 6 oz noodles (wheat noodles, ramen, rice noodles, or spaghetti)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1–2 tsp chili flakes or crushed red pepper
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (canola, vegetable, or avocado oil)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or black vinegar (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar or maple syrup
  • Optional toppings:
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Crushed peanuts
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Fried shallots
  • Chili crisp or extra chili oil

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, combine garlic, chili flakes, green onions, sugar, and vinegar if using.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a small saucepan until shimmering (about 350°F/175°C), then carefully pour it over the bowl of aromatics. It should sizzle and release fragrance.
  4. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil to complete the sauce.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and toss well until fully coated.
  6. Plate the noodles and top with any desired toppings like sesame seeds, peanuts, or fried shallots. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by using less chili flakes or a milder chili oil.
  • Use any type of noodle you like—just keep them chewy for the best texture.
  • Add sautéed vegetables or protein like tofu or a fried egg to make it a full meal.
  • Store leftover chili oil in the fridge for up to 2 weeks for future use.
