Quick Sizzling Chili Noodles
We have a new contributor this month, because we have another longtime customer, Matvei Murphy, who's making some irresistible videos using our products. In this one, he very quickly throws together a bowl of sizzling chili oil noodles by first making the chili oil directly in the bowl (no need to have any on hand). Click the photo above to watch the short video, or jump straight into his recipe: 1 to 1 1/2 bundles regular or wide knife-cut noodles (75 to 100 grams) 2 Tbsp sliced scallions 2 garlic cloves, minced 1-inch piece ginger, minced 1 Tbsp fragrant-hot ground chilies 1 Tbsp Zhongba light soy sauce2 tsp Zhongba dark soy sauce1/2 tsp Baoning vinegar1 tsp sugar 1/4 cup caiziyou (roasted rapeseed oil) Optional garnishes: scallion greens, peanuts, sesame seeds 1. Add the knife-cut noodles to a pot of boiling water and cook 7-9 minutes, or until your preferred texture. 2. While noodles are boiling, add the scallions, garlic, ginger and ground chilies to an individual serving bowl. Heat caiziyou in a small pan until just starting to smoke (around 450F). Remove from heat and let cool briefly before carefully pouring over the chili mix. Stir well and add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. 3. Remove noodles from pot, shake well to remove most water, and add directly to noodle bowl with waiting sauce. Mix well and garnish with scallion greens, peanuts and sesame seeds.
