Whilst you can use any noodles for this recipe, you want to use the instant noodles that come in a packet. They cook in no time at all.
You won’t need to seasoning packet it comes with, so you can throw or save for another time!
How spicy you make these is up to you. I find 1 tsp of chilli flakes make for tongue tingling spiciness, but this will vary by brand. You can use less or more depending on what you like.
How to make spicy garlic noodles:
First make the sauce. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Cook the noodles. Place them in a saucepan with water and cook until soft. It won’t take long, a couple of minutes.
If you use the right amount of water you won’t need to drain them. Add the sauce and cook for about 30 seconds until the sauce is hot through and the noodles are well coated.
Taste and if you want more chilli you can add it now. If you want more sweetness, add more agave, more saltiness add more soy sauce.
What to serve with these noodles:
- Veggie spring rolls!
- Crispy tofu
- Veggies – peppers, bean sprouts, courgette
