10 Minute Chili Oil Noodle Recipe

I love creating this 10 minute chili oil noodle dish on busy weeknights because it’s quick and easy to assemble. Chili oil noodles are a simple yet flavorful meal, combining the spiciness of chili oil with the savory, garlicky essence of the sauce.

What is Chili Oil?

Chili oil is a popular condiment in Asian cuisine, typically made by infusing dried chili peppers with oil. It can be used to elevate a wide variety of dishes, including noodles, toast, dumplings, and vegetables. At one point, pouring chili oil on ice cream even became a trend.

10 Minute Chili Oil Noodle Recipe Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce: It is richer and thicker than regular soy sauce, with a longer aging process that deepens its flavor. If you don’t have dark soy sauce at home, you can always use regular soy sauce as a substitute.
• 1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce: As the name suggests, the soy sauce is lighter in color and has a shorter fermentation process.
• 2-3 green onions, chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Chili oil, to taste
• Noodles (1-2 serving sizes): can be any noodle, but I like using wide hand-cut noodles.

10 Minute Chili Oil Noodle Recipe Instructions

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a bowl, mix together the dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili oil.

Add the cooked noodles to the sauce mixture and toss until the noodles are evenly coated.

Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

I love cooking fried eggs on the side for extra protein.
