Ingredients and Substitutions

Like many of my noodle recipes, this dish came to be when I was hangry and needed something quick with ingredients I already had on hand. Here’s what you’ll need to make my 10-Minute Chili Oil Garlic Udon Noodles:

• Noodles: I love using udon noodles, but feel free to use whatever you like! To make this dish gluten free, sub out for rice noodles.
• Chili Oil Crisp: I love so many different brands for different reasons. It’s important to use what you like! A few of my favorites, in no particular order are: Lao Gan Ma, Mr. Bing, and S&B.
• Green Onion
• Garlic
• Soy Sauce: Tamari or liquid aminos can be used as a gluten-free alternative. Coconut aminos can be used for a soy-free option.
• Rice Vinegar: White wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used as alternatives.
• Sugar: Maple syrup, agave nectar, or coconut sugar can be used instead of traditional sugar.
• Toasted Sesame Seeds

How to Make 10-Minute Chili Oil Garlic Udon Noodles

This recipe comes together so quickly! here’s how to make it:

1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pan or wok, heat the chili crisp over medium heat. Add the green onion and garlic to the hot oil and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss them in the garlic-infused chili oil until well-coated.
4. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and sugar. Pour this sauce over the noodles and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
5. Continue to cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the noodles to absorb the sauce. Once the noodles are well-coated and heated through, remove the pan from the heat.
6. Serve the chili oil garlic noodles hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. ENJOY!

Tips & FAQs

• Customization: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or protein sources such as tofu, mushrooms, or bok choy to make the dish more substantial.
• Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chili oil according to your spice preference. You can start with a smaller amount and add more if desired.
• Sauce Consistency: If you prefer a saucier dish, you can increase the quantities of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in the sauce mixture.

Can I Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?

Yes, you can use gluten-free udon noodles and replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.

Is there a Way to Reduce the Spiciness?

Adjust the amount of chili oil or choose a milder chili oil variant to control the spice level.

Can I Make This In Advance?

While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the components in advance and assemble just before serving. Store the noodles and sauce separately.

How Do I Store Leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Keep the noodles and sauce separate to prevent them from becoming too soft.

How to Reheat Leftovers?
