Chilli Garlic Noodles | Garlic Noodles | Indo-Chinese Noodles

Chilli garlic noodles is an Indo-Chinese dish flavoured with garlic and chillies. A quick noodle recipe made with a few simple ingredients.

As the name suggests, it is slightly on the spicier side. It is spiced up with fried garlic, dry red chillies, green chillies, green chilli sauce, and black pepper. Chilli paste can also be used to make it spicier. But I prefer moderately spicy noodles. But you can adjust the amount of heat as per your liking. Here I am using sesame flavoured oil. You can also use canola oil or peanut oil.

It is a simple yet delicious noodle recipe. It requires very minimal ingredients. I am not adding any vegetables so there will be less chopping. It can be prepared in less than 20 minutes. So it is a perfect recipe for those lazy Sundays. It is best served with a Chinese gravy. You can also check out my stuffed potato in chilli garlic sauce recipe.
