Easy Chili Garlic Oil Noodles

Sharing is caring!

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video

These Easy Chili Garlic Oil Noodles are tossed in a super tasty and aromatic sauce, that’s ready in 15 minutes or even less!

All you’ll need is a pot to boil the noodles and a bowl to mix everything together in to make these Easy Chili Garlic Oil Noodles.

THE NOODLES

I used thick wheat knife-cut ribbon noodles or ‘Kuan Miao Sliced Noodles’, that I purchased from my local Asian store.

You can opt to use other wheat noodles of your choice.

COOKING THE NOODLES

I simply boiled these noodles until chewy and cooked to my liking before draining them out of the water and placing them in a bowl.

VEGGIES TO PAIR WITH THE CHILI GARLIC OIL NOODLES

I also prepared some fresh bok choy to go with these noodles. Feel free to use other veggies of your choice! I love that added crunch the veggies give to this dish.

OTHER COMPONENTS IN YOUR BOWL

I also prepared the other ingredients that’ll go with the noodles. I basically cooked these down by pouring sizzling hot over to cook them down and release all the flavours!

CHILI POWDER/FLAKES

I’ve made this recipe countless times and I do love to use Korean chili powder or gochugaru from time to time. If you use gochugaru, you can double the amount since gochugaru is very mild in spice. It has a bright red colour so you’ll have a much redder bowl of chili oil noodles.

See the bowl below that I made with gochugaru!

CHILI GARLIC SAUCE OR CHILI OIL

I also have here my homemade Chili Garlic Sauce, that I mixed in my noodles to give that extra kick of spice and fragrant aroma + crunch from the garlic.

You can also easily adjust the ingredients according to your desired spice and taste. It’s really so quick, easy, and extremely satisfying.

You can get my Chili Garlic Sauce recipe here.

WHAT TO DO

Check out the video below to see how quick and easy it is to put together this bowl!

I then simply mixed everything together. Slurp away and enjoy your easy yet really hearty and satisfying bowl of Chili Garlic Oil Noodles!

The version made with gochugaru:

Ingredients
  

Noodles

  • 100 g dry wheat noodles , I used wide wheat noodles or 'Kuan Miao Sliced Noodles' to be exact
  • 2 small heads of bok choy or other greens of choice
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil see notes
  • 1 tbsp chili flakes or chili powder such as gochugaru, feel free to add more or less according to your desired spice level (see notes)
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or more to taste
  • 1 tsp Chinese black or Chinkiang vinegar see notes for sub
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion or scallion
  • 1/4 tsp salt or more to taste
  • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper or sub black pepper

To Finish

  • Chili garlic sauce or chili oil, for topping (see homemade recipe here)
  • More chopped green onion or scallion
  • Doubanjiang or chili broad bean paste
  • More soy sauce or chinkiang vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Heat a small pot with water over high heat. Once it boils, add in the noodles and cook according to package instructions until chewy or to your liking. Drain from the water and place the noodles in a bowl.
  • In the same pot of water, blanch the vegetables until tender and cooked to your liking. Place in the bowl as well.
  • Remove the water from the pot and then pat dry. Heat the neutral oil over high heat until it’s very hot. You can test the heat by adding a chopped scallion and if it sizzles, it’s good to go!
  • While the oil is heating, top the noodles with the chili flakes, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, chopped green onion or scallion, salt, and pepper.
  • Carefully pour in the very hot oil over the noodles. Enjoy that sizzle! Afterwards, mix everything well to coat the noodles in the flavourful oil and sauce.
  • Top with some chili garlic sauce, more chopped green onion or scallion, chili bean paste, and more soy sauce/chinkiang vinegar, to taste, if needed. Enjoy!

Notes

Chili flakes: you can also use chili powder if you’d like! 1 tbsp of chili flakes for this serving of noodles wasn’t spicy for me (though I do have a high spice tolerance) and didn’t want it to be too spicy at all since I added more chili garlic sauce and doubanjiang to serve at the end of the preparation.
Using Gochugaru: gochugaru is very mild in spice so you can opt to use 2 tbsp. It has a very bright red colour.
Chinese Black or Chinkiang Vinegar: Though there’s really not exact substitute for the flavour of Chinese Black Vinegar, feel free to sub it with rice wine vinegar or rice vinegar for this recipe since it’s a very small amount.
Neutral oil: for the amount of oil, 3 tbsp really coats the noodles and bok choy well and creates a nice chili oil, but if you’d like to use less oil, you can opt to use 2 tbsp oil.

    Hi what oil did you recommend? Can sesame oil work?

    1. Jeeca 9 Feb 2021 Reply

      Hi Ben! For the oil, I recommend using a neutral tasting oil like safflower, rapessed, veg, or canola since sesame oil can be a little too overpowering unless you’re okay with the sesame taste along with the chili. Hope this helps!

    This was amazing! I added sweet soy sauce for a hint of sweetness, of course and it was great!

    what other veg can we use? we dont get bok choy here.

    1. Jeeca 8 Jun 2021 Reply

      Hi! It’s really up to you! You can add veggies like spinach, cabbage, etc. ◡̈ cucumber would be good too since it’ll help balance out the spice and richness.

  9. Melissa 10 Sep 2021 Reply

    What brand of Chinkiang Vinegar do you use?

    1. Jeeca 11 Sep 2021 Reply

      Hi Melissa! It varies depending on what’s available at my local store. Currently I’m using Pearl River Bridge’s black vinegar. Lee Kum Kee has one too!
