Chilli Garlic Noodles

If you are a garlic lover then you will love this simple and  very delicious noodles. You wont find any vegetables in this stir fried noodles because they are meant to accompany a sauce based main dish.

Very few ingredients in this noodle yet very yummy. Drizzle the soy sauce from the sides of the wok, so that the aroma will be released and enhances the flavor into the needles. Increase or decrease in the chilli flakes to your level of taste.

This is one of my daughters favorite noodles.

Serves : 3 pax                                                                               Time : 30 minutes                                                                    Recipe source : Nita Mehta’s cook book

Ingredients

Noodles – 200gms
Oil – 3 tbsp *
Crushed garlic – 2 tsp
Whole red chillies broken into bits – 3 nos
Red chilli flakes – ½ tsp
Sesame seeds – 1 tbsp                                                                  
Soya Sauce – 1 tsp

*I used sesame oil

Method

Add 10 cups of water and 1 tsp of oil to it. Add in the noodles and let it boil. Stir here and there with a fork. Cook till just done say  less than 5 minutes. Please do not over cook the noodles.

Remove from  heat, strain and move the strainer under the cold running water and  let the water drain off completely at this time drizzle  1 tsp of oil and just toss the strainer so that the noodles don’t stick to each other and keep this aside.

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok, throw in the garlic and stir.

Reduce the flame and add in the broken chilli and red chilli flakes.

Now add the cooked noodles and toss them well.  Add in the soya sauce and mix well so that the noodles are coated well with the sauce.

Keep the noodles till it turns into a nice light brown colour add the sesame seeds mix well using forks.

Serve it hot. It does not taste good when cold.

I personally felt you just don’t need anything to accompany this at all.
