Spicy Garlic Noodles Recipe

Combine noodles, garlic, and some spice — that’s a bowl of heaven right there!

Not only is it convenient due to ease of preparation, but it’s simple and tasty enough for the taste buds to enjoy while having that kick of spice for a thrilling experience.

If you know how to cook chili garlic oil (or garlic sauce) and are in search of easy noodle recipes, you’ve come to the right place. With this recipe, there’s no need for you to go for an errand to get groceries because all the ingredients are most likely already in your kitchen!

For an even more convenient cooking, we’ll use ready-made chili garlic mushroom paste by MUMshroom. And before you get intimidated by the name, don’t worry! While it is made from mushrooms, it only gives a subtle hint of unique taste and is still dominated by the familiar goodness of spicy garlic we all love.

2 tablespoons Mumshroom chili garlic mushroom paste

2 tablespoons soy sauce
