Can I make Chilli Garlic Noodles gluten-free?

Yes! Make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Additionally, I used Ocean’s Halo Gluten-Free Ramen Noodles which are made with wheat, instead, you can use rice noodles or any other gluten-free noodles for this dish. 

Where can I find Chili Onion Crunch?

Trader Joe’s! I know Trader Joe’s isn’t available to people outside the United States so instead use an Asian Chili Oil for that yummy chili flavor. It’s pretty much the same thing.

How to make Chili Garlic Noodles recipe step by step?

Prep

1. Heat up a pot of water to boil the noodles. Follow the instructions on the package. I used Ocean’s Halo Ramen Noodles which are clean.
2. Slice 10 cloves of garlic lengthwise.
3. Drain the noodles and rinse with cold water. Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water for later.

Cook Chili Garlic Noodles

1. Heat up a wok on medium heat. Once hot, add oil followed by sliced garlic.
2. Saute the garlic for roughly 2 minutes until you can smell the burnt garlic. 
3. Lower heat all the way. Add soy sauce.
4. Add chili vinegar or rice wine vinegar. I used Ching’s Chili Vinegar.
5. Add Trader Joe’s Chili Onion Crunch (or chili oil). Try and add more crunch than oil.
6. Increase heat to medium and stir. This is what you should have. 

7. Add ramen noodles. Work quick and toss well.
8. Now add another tbsp of chili onion crunch.
