Quick and Easy Spicy Noodles

We're cooking up a big bowl of Spicy Noodles, my friends! Would you care to join me?

Spicy noodles are always on the menu in the Chili Pepper Madness kitchen. It's a perfect comfort food, incredibly quick and easy to whip together at a moment's notice with simple pantry ingredients.

There is no need to hit up the grocery store to buy pre-packaged "spicy noodles" that don't deliver that true spicy experience you're looking for. Spicy noodles are so much better homemade! You can spice these up as much as you want to.

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.

You can enjoy your spicy noodles by themselves, or you can very easily toss in any of your favorite vegetables and/or proteins to round out the dish.

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. Red pepper 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.

Cook 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.

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • Add Vegetables and Proteins. You can really customize this recipe by adding in your favorite vegetables like carrots, broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, zucchini and others. You can also add in proteins like chicken, pork, shrimp, tofu, or anything you prefer.
  • Consider the Spicy Noodle Sauce a starter sauce. You can easily adjust it with any of your favorite sweet or spicy additions, like hot sauce, red chili flakes and powders, chili sauce, chili pastes, chili oil, sambals, brown sugar, honey, and more.
  • This recipe works with just about any of your favorite noodles. I love egg noodles for this dish, but try ramen noodles, rice noodles, or angel hair pasta.

Spicy Noodles Too Spicy?

You can dial back on the heat by using a milder Korean gochujang and cutting back on the spicy elements - sriracha, chili-garlic sauce, hot peppers. You can also serve your spicy noodles with a dairy product, which helps to combat the heat.

Storage & Leftovers

Spicy noodles will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator in a sealed container. You can serve it cold, or gently warm in a pan or in the microwave.

It is not ideal for freezing.

That's it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my spicy noodles recipe. Let me know if you make it. I'd love to hear how it turned out for you, and how you made yours extra spicy!

    The recipe lists sesame oil as an ingredient. Is that toasted sesame oil or untoasted? Thanks.

    Hi Mike, cannot wait to try your Spicy Noodles! Just wanted to ask - which chili crisp do you use? I have these amazing crisps called 'Drama Queen' and I buy a lot of them on our annual trip to Thailand.
