Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dried Chinese noodles (lo mein or wheat noodles)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the Chinese noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water, then set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes and cook for another 10 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the julienned carrots, red bell pepper, and half of the sliced green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, and sugar until combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, followed by the sauce mixture. Toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.
Stir in the bean sprouts and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm them through.
Remove the skillet from heat and taste the noodles. Adjust seasoning if necessary (e.g., add more soy sauce or chili oil for extra flavor or spice).
Garnish the noodles with the remaining green onions, chopped cilantro (if using), and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spicy Chinese Noodles!
