Five Spice Chili Oil Noodles
This delicious bowl of noodles includes an easy homemade chili oil. Pour the sizzling oil over the aromatics and enjoy!
Servings: 2
Equipment
- Small Pot I used my 2 quart Made In Saucepan
Ingredients
Chili Oil
- 1/4 cup Avocado Oil or another high-smoke point neutral oil
- 2 tablespoon Sichuan Peppercorns more or less based on spice preference
Ingredients Before Chili Oil
- 2 Green Onion sliced; light green bottom portion only (save top dark green for serving)
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar
Ingredients After Chili Oil
- 1 tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dark Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Black Vinegar can also use rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil optional; I used Trader Joe's Sesame Chili Oil for additional heat
- 8 oz Fresh Wheat Noodles I used refrigerated noodles from the international grocery store. Feel free to use any noodles you like or even spaghetti.
Optional Toppings
- Egg I added a fried egg to each serving
- Green Onion sliced; dark green top portion
- English Cucumber cut into thin slices
Instructions
Chili Oil
- Heat oil and Sichuan peppercorns in a small saucepan over medium-high. Heat for 5-10 minutes or until the oil begins to smoke. Keep an eye on the oil so it doesn't burn.
Ingredients Before Chili Oil
- While the chili oil heats, add the bottom parts of the green onions, minced garlic, five spice powder, sesame seeds, and brown sugar to a bowl. Mix together.
- Once the oil begins to smoke, immediately pour it into the bowl of pre-mixed ingredients. Use a mesh strainer so the Sichuan peppercorns don't go into the bowl. The ingredients should sizzle and cook from the heat of the oil.
Ingredients After Chili Oil
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package instructions. Strain and divide into 2 bowls for serving.
- To the chili oil bowl, add the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, and optional sesame oil. Stir to combine then spoon over the cooked noodles.
- Add desired toppings such as fried eggs, the sliced top portion of the green onions, and sliced cucumbers.
