10 Minute Garlic Chili Crisp Oil Noodles

My favourite quick and easy noodle dish, done in just 10 minutes! Thick biang biang noodles tossed in a garlicky spicy aromatic sauce. Topped with a crispy fried egg.

Sometimes, I’m in the need of a quick meal, or sometimes, I’m just lazy, which is why this is my go-to dish whenever I want something that’s quick to make, but also TASTY. The key to making this dish taste amazing, is to pour the hot oil over the aromatics, in order to release the flavours.

I love making this dish using biang biang noodles – a type of thick hand-pulled noodles. It’s chewy, and soaks up all the flavours, making it super addicting, which is why I highly recommend using wide knife-cut noodles for this dish. However, you can also make this using any noodles of your choice, such as instant ramen or udon.

It’s also vegetarian-friendly, and you can customize it with any protein/toppings you like. I like having these with a crispy fried egg that has a runny yolk, and I mix it altogether with the noodles.
