    About This Recipe

    These Indo-Chinese Spicy Chilli Garlic Noodles are a popular take-out recipe at a lot of Indo-Chinese takeaways.

    These noodles are full of flavors and make for a great meal on their own or paired with Asian-style curries like Vegetables in Hot Garlic Sauce, Thai Basil Chicken, or Sweet And Sour Vegetables.

    The good part is that making these spicy Chili Galic Noodles at home is super easy. They come together in under 30 minutes using simple ingredients.

    You can also adjust the spice level according to your taste. If you don’t like them too spicy, you can decrease the amount of red chili paste, especially if you are making it for your kids.

    My recipe is vegan but you can totally add roasted and shredded chicken, shrimp, beef, etc to it.

    Ingredients

    Noodles – I use Hakka Noodles to make this chili garlic noodles recipe but you can use any noodles of your choice. Egg noodles, soba noodles, udon noodles, pad Thai noodles, etc are some options.

    Vegetables – This dish is loaded with vegetables. I have added green bell pepper (capsicum), carrots, green beans, and scallion greens (green onions).

    You can add more vegetables such as green cabbage, purple cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, bok choy, sprouts, snow peas, spinach, kale, etc.

    You can also add tofu or paneer to add some vegetarian protein to your noodles.

    Other Ingredients – You will also need fresh ginger, garlic, red chili paste, onions, green chilies, vinegar, sugar, white pepper powder, hot sauce, salt, and dark soy sauce.

    I make my Red Chili Paste but you can use store-bought paste too. Red chili paste can also be replaced with Sambal Oelek.

    Increase the quantity of garlic if you are a big fan of garlic flavor.

    You can replace white pepper powder with black pepper powder if it’s not easily available.

    How To Make Chilli Garlic Noodles

    Cook The Noodles

    Heat 4-5 cups of water in a pan over medium-high heat.

    Once the water comes to a boil, add a teaspoon of salt and 200 g of dry Hakka noodles to the pan. Cook until the noodles are just cooked (Al Dente).

    Do not overcook otherwise the noodles will turn mushy.

    Drain the water and run the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process.

    Toss the noodles with 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and set them aside.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use MSG (Ajinomoto) in these noodles?

    MSG (Ajinomoto) is a flavor enhancer that is commonly added to Chinese food including noodle recipes.

    You can add a teaspoon of MSG to these noodles if you are not allergic to it. It gives a very nice umami taste to the noodles and elevates its taste a lot.

    Chilli Garlic vs Hakka Noodles

    Both these noodles are extremely popular in restaurants, but both differ in their taste and flavors.

    While chili garlic noodles are very spicy due to the use of red chili paste, Hakka noodles are milder in taste.

    Chilli Garlic Noodles vs Chow Mein

    Chow Mein is more of a street-style spicy noodle recipe that is loaded with garlic, chilies, a truckload of sauces, vegetables, and chicken, whereas in chilli garlic noodles the main flavoring agents are garlic and red chili paste.

    Serving Suggestions

    These spicy chilli garlic noodles can be served on their own for a hearty meal.

    To make these even more filling, serve them with a side dish like Asian Chicken Meatballs, Asian Garlic Tofu, and Indo-Chinese Veg Manchurian.

    You can also serve these along with a soup such as Chinese Hot and Sour Soup, Egg Drop Soup, Clear Chicken Soup, and some starters such as Indo-Chinese Chilli Chicken, Chinese Hunan Chicken, or Chinese Spring Rolls.

    Storage Suggestions

    These noodles taste the best when served right from the wok.

    But if you have leftovers, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Reheat in a wok until nice and hot and serve.
