FAQ

Spicy Chili Garlic Oil Noodles Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Noodles: If you don’t have egg noodles, you can use rice noodles or even soba noodles for a different twist.
• Vegetable oil: Canola oil or peanut oil makes a fine substitute if vegetable oil is not available.
• Chili garlic sauce: If you don’t have this, Sriracha or a homemade mixture of chopped garlic with red pepper flakes works pretty well.
• Soy sauce: Tamari or coconut aminos are good alternatives, especially if you’re watchin’ your gluten intake.
• Rice vinegar: Apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar can be used, just adjust the amount to match the tanginess.

Pro Tips

1) Make sure you watch the garlic close becuz it can burn real quick and give a bitter taste. Lower the heat if you see it getting too dark instead of just rushing through it.

2) Don’t be afraid to mess with the amount of chili garlic sauce and red chilies – start with a bit less if you’re not into super spicy food, then add more if you feel like it needs extra punch.

3) When you toss in the noodles, be sure to stir really well so every noodle gets covered in that tasty sauce. If you miss spots then some parts might end up bland.

4) Serve your noodles soon after cooking, since they can get soggy if they sit around too long and you want to enjoy that perfect mix of textures.
