Instructions
Cooking Noodles
- In a pan or wok heat water until it comes to a boil
- Add the noodles and stir. Cook noodles as per the instructions on the pack or till they are al dente.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse with water. Rinsing with water stops the cooking process. Strain them well and set aside.
- When the noodles are cooking, you can prep the other ingredients – finely chop garlic cloves, spring onion, and celery. Also break or halve the chilies and remove the seeds. Set aside.
Making Garlic Noodles
- Heat sesame oil in a wok or kadai. Keep the heat to medium and add the finely chopped garlic and the dry red chilies. Stir fry for a few seconds. No need to brown the garlic.
- Then add the chopped spring onions and celery. Celery is optional and if you do not have then omit adding it.
- Stir fry on a medium heat till the onions turn translucent and soften.
- Then add the sauces one by one – soy sauce, red chili sauce or red chili paste. Also add rice vinegar (swap with rice wine or white vinegar). Stir well.
- Add salt according to taste and sugar. Add less salt as the sauces already have salt in them. Stir and mix again.
- Now add the cooked noodles.On a medium heat, mix and stir so that the sauce coats the noodles very well. Do a taste test. Add more salt or the sauces as required.
- You can decrease or increase the quantity of the sauces as per your taste. You can also add black pepper or white pepper. Switch off the heat.
- Finally add the spring onions greens and stir to combine.
- Serve chilli garlic noodles accompanied with veg manchurian, mushroom manchurian, cauliflower manchurian or sweet and sour vegetable.
- While serving garlic noodles you can also sprinkle some red chili flakes on the noodles for an extra kick of heat.
