Chili Garlic Noodles (Quick, Easy, Few Ingredients! AND Vegan!)

I am a huge fan of quick dinners that can be made after a long day. This recipe for chili garlic noodles from Natasha at Salt & Lavender is a recipe that you need in your repertoire of quick things to make. It is a very simple dish that can be made in 15 minutes! The best part about it is that it is delicious! I did make a few changes to the original recipe, but I will include the link down below (the original one is just as delicious--I just like more options).

Chili Garlic Noodles

Ingredients:

Noodles

• ~7 ounces of soba noodles

Sauce

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 3-4 garlic cloves

• ⅛ red pepper flakes

Garnish (all optional)

• 2 tbsp chopped peanuts

• 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

• 1 scallion

• Sesame seeds

• Lime wedges

• Sriracha

Directions:

1. Mix together all ingredients for the sauce.

2. Cook the soba noodles per the package directions. It takes about 3-4 minutes in boiling water. Once finished cooking, drain.

3. Once the soba noodles start cooking, add the sauce to a skillet on medium high heat and cook the sauce for about 2-3 minutes. Stir often.

4. Add the drained noodles to the sauce and mix to coat the noodles. Remove from heat and garnish with desired toppings.

Taste: 9/10

Level of difficulty: 1/5

Notes for next time: I loved how quick this was! This dish is a bit spicy, so if you want something less spicy add only 1 tbsp of sriracha.
