All you need are noodles and a few spicy condiments that I regularly keep on hand. It's so easy, you'll have it on the table in about 15 minutes or so, and you can really spice it up as much as you want to.

Consider this a base recipe, one you can really make your own with lots of potential additions, even though it's absolutely delicious exactly as it is.

Okay, enough talking!

Let's talk about how to make spicy noodles, shall we?

Spicy Noodles Ingredients

• SPICY NOODLES SAUCE
• Soy Sauce. Adds a wonderful umami to the sauce, as well as saltiness.
• Gochujang. Gochujang is a fermented Korean chili paste that offers HUGE flavor. You'll find a variety ranging from mild to hot. I prefer HOT.
• Sriracha. You can also use your favorite hot sauce.
• Chili-Garlic Sauce. I like my homemade chili-garlic sauce, though you can use your favorite brand.
• Chili Crisp. You must use this! Try my homemade chili crisp recipe and you'll always need it in the kitchen forever more. It's that good.
• Sesame Oil.
• Rice Wine Vinegar.
• Salt and Pepper. To taste, if desired.
• FOR THE SPICY NOODLES
• Dried Egg Noodles. You can use fresh, though you'll need to adjust your cooking time.
• Olive Oil. For stir frying.
• Spicy Chili Peppers. I’m using serrano and bird’s eye, though use your favorites for your own heat and flavor preference.
• FOR GARNISH. Chili flakes, extra chili crisp, fresh chopped herbs, chopped roasted peanuts, chopped green onion

How to Make Spicy Noodles - the Recipe Method

Make the Spicy Noodles Sauce. Whisk together the spicy noodles sauce ingredients and set the sauce aside.

Boil the Noodles. Boil the noodles in hot water in a large pot over medium heat per the packaging directions until done, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set into a lightly oiled bowl.

Stir Fry the Chilies. Heat the oil in a wok or large pan and add the chili peppers. Cook for 5 minutes to soften.

Add in the Sauce. Stir in the spicy noodles sauce and toss to evenly coat.

Get Ready for Spicy Noodles! Transfer to bowls. Garnish and serve.

Boom! Done! Your spicy noodles are ready to serve. So easy to make, right? We've definitely upped the "spicy" factor here, just for you, just the way I like it.
