Chilli Oil Noodles: 3 Easy Recipes
If you have noodles and a jar of crunchy garlic chilli oil, dinner is basically done. Here are three easy chilli oil noodle recipes — one classic, one garlicky, one cold — ready in about ten minutes.
Why chilli oil noodles work
Good chilli oil already has the flavour built in — fragrant oil, crispy garlic, real heat — so you barely have to cook. A ready crunchy garlic chilli oil like Fany’s Crunchy Garlic Chilli Oil does the heavy lifting; you just boil noodles and toss.
The base (for all three)
Boil your noodles of choice — instant noodles, egg noodles, or even spaghetti — and drain, keeping a splash of the cooking water. In the serving bowl, add 1–2 tablespoons of chilli oil (stir the jar first to catch the crispy bits), a little soy sauce, and a pinch of sugar.
Recipe 1: Classic chilli oil noodles
- Add the hot drained noodles to the sauce in the bowl.
- Loosen with a spoon of the noodle water.
- Toss until every strand is coated and glossy.
- Top with spring onion. Done.
Recipe 2: Garlicky spicy noodles with egg
- Fry or soft-boil an egg.
- Make the classic noodles above, adding an extra spoon of the crispy garlic from the jar.
- Slide the egg on top and let the yolk run into the noodles.
Recipe 3: Cold chilli oil noodles
- Boil the noodles, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
- Toss with chilli oil, soy, a splash of vinegar and a little sesame oil.
- Add cucumber ribbons and serve cold — great for a hot day.
Which chilli oil to use
Regular (6/10) suits most people and lets the garlic shine. If you love heat, go X-tra Spicy (9/10). For even more serving ideas, see 12 ways to use garlic chilli oil and chilli oil vs chilli crisp vs sambal.
Tips
- Stir the jar before spooning so you get oil and crispy bits together.
- Keep a little noodle water to loosen the sauce — it helps it cling.
- Use a clean, dry spoon and keep the jar at room temperature.
