These spicy garlic noodles pack a ton of flavor! You'll practically inhale them! You can decide if you want to make this in 15 minutes with store bought noodles, or 3 hours with homemade noodles.


The recipe is here, and pictures of the process are below:


Ingredients:


Dough recipe if you make your on noodles (double for 2 servings):

  • 100 g all purpose flour

  • 50 g water

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • A bit of oil for the bowl

Noodles (double for 2 servings):

  • If using store-bought: 3 oz. dried wide noodles, or 200 g cooked warm noodles

  • 1 tsp. Dark Chinese Vinegar (Chinkiang vinegar) (or to taste)

  • 2 tsp. of Chinese light soy sauce (or to taste)

  • 1 1/2 tbsp. sliced whites of green onions

  • 1 large clove garlic, minced (or to taste)

  • 1/4 tsp. ground red Szechuan peppercorns

  • 2 tsp. Chinese red chili flakes

  • 2-3 Tbsp. peanut oil

Directions:

  1. If using store bought noodles skip to step 8.

  2. To make the dough: In a bowl mix flour and salt together. Then add the water and knead about one minute. It will be firm.

  3. Cover the bowl and let rest 30 minutes.

  4. Knead 2 minutes.

  5. Cover and rest 2 hours (or overnight/during work).

  6. Start boiling the water.

  7. Roll out the dough until it's very thin. Cut into 1/2-1 inch (1.5-2.5 cm) strips. Stretch slowly as far as it will go without tearing.

  8. Add the noodles to the salted boiling water and cook 1-2 minutes. If using store-bought noodles add about 1 tsp. salt to the boiling water and cook as directed on the package. Strain.

  9. Add the hot noodles to a bowl. Top with garlic, green onions, soy sauce, dark vinegar, red chili flakes, and ground Szechuan pepper.

  10. Heat the oil in a small pot until it pops and bubbles a little. Pour the hot over the noodles, focusing on the chili flakes and garlic.

  11. Mix together and taste and adjust seasonings.

  12. Serve with blanched/steamed vegetables (broccoli or bok choy work well!).

These are the ingredients you'll need. Some can be hard to find but first check your local asian market. Then Amazon/online.

To make the ground szechuan peppercorns you can do it with a spice grinder here, or by hand. Some stores may sell it pre-ground.

After grinding. It's ready to use!


Now to make the noodles, if you choose to go that route:

After resting it looks..... the same..... But it's actually more hydrated and flexible!

Cut the dough ball in half and shape into 2 logs.

After resting 2 hours start with one dough log at a time.

Then gently stretch each noodle as far as it will go. Here is all the noodles stretched.

Boil the noodles 1-2 minutes. If using store bought cook as directed on package.
