Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dried wheat noodles (or egg noodles for non-vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 4 stalks green onions (white and green parts separated), chopped
- 1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, ground
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar (or balsamic vinegar as a substitute)
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (ensure nut-free)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water or vegetable broth
- 1 as desired optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced chili, or additional green onions
Instructions
Cook the dried noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with a few drops of sesame oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the chopped green onions. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
Add the ground Szechuan peppercorns and chili flakes to the skillet, and cook for an additional 30 seconds to release their aroma.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water or vegetable broth to make the sauce.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir well. Let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to slightly thicken.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are heated through and infused with the flavors.
Turn off the heat, and garnish the noodles with the green parts of the green onions and any optional toppings like sesame seeds, sliced chili, or additional green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade nut-free spicy garlic Szechuan noodles!
