Asian Chili Garlic Noodles
Ingredients
- 200 grams pasta of your choice e.g. fettuccine or gluten-free rice noodles
- ✨ 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce optional
- ✨ 1-2 tbsp sesame oil
- ✨ 1 small piece of ginger minced
- ✨ 2 garlic cloves minced
- ✨ 2 scallions chopped
- ✨ 1 red pepper sliced
- ✨ half pack mushrooms sliced
- ✨ 1/2 cup coconut milk
- ✨ 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari sauce, if gluten-free
- ✨ 1 tsp agave syrup or another sweetener to taste
- ✨ 1 tsp chili flakes or Sriracha to taste
- ✨ salt and pepper to taste
- 3-4 tbsp sesame seeds, fresh limes(optional)
Preparation
Cook the noodles according to the packing instructions
In the meantime, heat the oil in a skillet or wok. Add the ginger, garlic and white part of the chopped scallions (reserve the green part for garnish) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then add the mushrooms and bell pepper and cook for further 5 minutes until tender
Once the noodles are done cooking, drain the cooking water and toss them with a little sweet & sour sauce. (This adds more flavor to the noodles and also prevents them from sticking but that's just optional). Then, add them to the vegetables, and sauté for a while until slightly crisp
Pour in the soy sauce and coconut milk. Season with salt, pepper, and chili and agave syrup to taste. Toss and stir-fry until everything is well combined and hot
Serve your Asian Chili Garlic noodles in bowls with lime wedges on the side and sprinkle with green scallions and sesame as desired
