Ingredients

Noodles:

  • 150 g (5 oz) wide wheat noodles aka knife cut noodles

Chili Oil:

  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 3 cloves garlic finely diced
  • 2 green onion (scallions) green and white part sliced separately
  • 2–3 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds untoasted
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili powder or smoked paprika for less heat
  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
  • 2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose soy sauce or light soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Topping:

  • 1–2 teaspoon chili crisp (optional)
  • green part of spring onion
  • white sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Boil Noodles: Start boiling the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the starchy water.
  2. Make Chili Oil: Heat up oil in a pan. On medium heat, add garlic, the white part of the green onion, red chili flakes, and sesame seeds. Toast until garlic is golden and green onion is crispy. Add red chili powder and stir briefly. This is your chili oil.
  3. Prepare Spicy Sauce: Pour the reserved water to stop cooking. Add chicken bouillon powder, dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, and green part of spring onion. Mix.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Toss cooked noodles in the spicy sauce until well coated. Plate.
  5. Add Toppings: Top with chili crisp, sesame seeds, and green part of spring onion. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use any kind of thick or thin noodles like egg noodles, udon noodles, ramen, or even wide rice noodles for a gluten-free option.
  • Dark soy sauce adds intense soy flavor and deep color, while all-purpose or light soy sauce adds saltiness. Do not mix them up.
  • Toasted sesame oil has a lower smoke point and is used as a finishing oil; do not confuse it with regular cooking sesame oil.
  • If available, use Korean chili flakes (Gochugaru) for a more authentic taste; otherwise, standard crushed red pepper will work.
  • Be careful not to burn the garlic or chili flakes when making the chili oil.
