WHAT ARE GARLIC CHILI OIL NOODLES?
This Garlic Chili Oil Noodle recipe is inspired by a traditional Chinese dish called You Po Mian (油泼面). This is where hot oil is poured onto aromatics and chilis. I added Miso for extra umami that takes this dish to the next level. Peanut butter is also added for that addictive creaminess that you will love.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST NOODLES
- Cook the noodles exactly to the package instructions. You do not want mushy noodles.
- Use good quality noodles. Although this recipe is versatile and uses what you have on hand, it’s always best to use quality noodles. I love using Taiwanese knife-cut hand dried noodles.
- I love adding soft-boiled (6-minute eggs) for extra protein, but you can add whatever protein you like, such as tofu, prawns, or chicken.
