Black Garlic Chili Oil Noodles
2 servings
Steps
- Squeeze garlic cloves into a large mixing bowl. Add a drizzle of oil or water and mash the garlic with a fork into a fine paste.
- Add the chili flakes, vegan oyster sauce, soy sauce, and a drizzle of dark soy sauce (if using).
- Heat 1 – 1½ tablespoons of oil in a small saucepan to about 225°F (110°C) or right before it starts to smoke.
- Carefully pour the hot oil on to the garlic mix and quickly stir to combine.
- Next, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the noodles as directed. I used fresh ramen that only need 2-3 minutes to cook.
- When noodles are ready, sieve it out and transfer to the garlic mix. Using a pair of chopsticks, quickly toss to combine.
- Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Notes
- I used a hand-held cooking thermometer to measure the oil temperature
- If you have roasted chili flakes, please reduce the oil temperature to prevent the sauce from overcook (it may turn bitter)
- If you can’t find store-bought vegan oyster sauce, please use this recipe.
