    Ingredients for Chilli Garlic Noodles


    This simple Chilli Garlic Noodles dish is so flavorful and tasty because the noodles were seasoned with a combination of Western and Eastern seasoning blends.

    The seasoning blend contains red chili pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and oyster sauce.

    • Noodles. To make this dish, you can use spaghetti or lo-mein. I personally used spaghetti because this time as it just happens to be the type of noodles available in my pantry right now.
    • Oyster Sauce. It is a common condiment used in Asian cooking, especially for stir-fry recipes. It’s made from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and water, then thickened with corn starch. Oyster Sauce has a sweet and savory sauce with a deep, earthy flavor. You can purchase oyster sauce at any grocery store or specialty market. A high-quality oyster sauce is naturally dark.

    The combination of these ingredients creates the umami taste and really brings out the best of the flavors. No MSG added!

    How to Make Garlic Noodles:


    There is nothing complicated about this Chilli Garlic Noodles dish.

    The preparation and cooking process involves chopping, cooking the noodles until al dente, and making the sauce base. Anyone without cooking skills can make this dish.

    So here are some steps to follow:

    • First, cook the noodles in salted boiling water until al dente.
    • Second, make the garlic oil by bringing about ¼ cup of oil with ¼ cup of thinly sliced garlic to a boil at medium heat. Quickly turn off the heat and set it aside. The garlic oil is optional.
    • Third, make the umami sauce by combining butter, red chili pepper flakes, and minced garlic in a cold saute pan. Set the heat to medium-high and cook for about 2 minutes, then add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine, and cook until warm. Turn off the heat.
    • Fourth, in the same skillet, add the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Make sure the noodles are covered with the sauce evenly. No cooking is required!
    • Next, add the parmesan cheese, and stir to coat.
    • Last, serve with chopped green onion, and some garlic oil.

    What to Serve With Garlic Noodles:


    You can serve the garlic noodles dish by itself or with a protein of your choice, such as; leftover rotisserie chicken, grilled shrimp, or even just a boiled egg!

    Storing Leftovers:


    You can store the leftover cooked pasta in the fridge for 3-5 days.  Just be sure to completely cool the noodles before you close the container.
