Garlic Chili Noodles

Step 1

Heat a small frying pan( my frying pan is 6″/18cm diameter) over very low heat. Add cooking oil along with thinly sliced scallion( white part) and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes on very low heat and constantly stir. (we don’t want to burn them, if you see they start burning, turn the heat lower)

Step 2

2.Turn on the kettle with water for the noodles. After sautéing our aromatics for 5 minutes, we add vegetable broth, light and dark soy sauce, black vinegar, and Korean chilli powder/flakes( Gochugaru) into the sauce pan and stir. Turn the heat up to medium-low and let the sauce simmer away for 5 minutes without a lid on. (If you sauce is ready but the noodles are not ready yet, just turn off the heat and leave the sauce on the stove).

Step 3

Meanwhile , we gonna cook dried noodles while the sauce is simmering. Cook the noodles in a pot according to package instruction.

Step 4

Drain the noodles very well then pour the garlic chilli sauce over and mix well until the noodles are well coated with the sauce. Finish with more scallion(green part), toasted sesame seeds, and more chilli powder/flakes. Serve when hot and enjoy!
