Spicy Garlic Chilli Noodles are quick, bold, and fiery noodles tossed in a savory garlic-chili sauce. With just the right balance of heat, tang, and umami, this easy dish is perfect for a flavorful lunch, dinner, or late-night craving.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz noodles (lo mein, ramen, rice noodles, or preferred type)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1–2 tsp red chili flakes or 1 fresh red chili, chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, fried garlic

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), rice vinegar or lime juice, sugar, and a splash of water.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat neutral oil over medium heat. Add garlic and chili flakes, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the sauce mixture and let simmer for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Add cooked noodles and toss until well coated and heated through.
  6. Garnish with green onions and desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Add tofu, scrambled egg, or chicken for protein.
  • Mix in vegetables like bok choy, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added nutrition.
  • Drizzle with peanut butter or tahini for a nutty variation.
  • Use rice noodles and tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Reduce chili or use sweet chili sauce for a milder version.
