Garlic Chili Oil Noodles. Thick bouncy udon noodles coated in a smooth flavourful chili garlic sesame oil. They are the best chili oil noodles made in just 15 minutes or less.
Mild in spice!
These chili garlic noodles are perfect for lunch, dinner or as a side. My Chinese chili oil noodles are milder in spice and you can add more red pepper flakes or gochugaru to increase the spiciness of that hot chili oil. Therefore it’s a great option for those who are just getting used to spice.
Adapted from this recipe
My chili oil with noodles are a spin off of my Spicy Peanut Noodles but without the peanut butter, sesame seeds, and Sichuan red pepper flakes.
The noodles with chili oil are also different where I'm using thicker noodles instead of the thinner flatter kind. Also, instead of Sichuan Red Pepper Flakes, I’m using Korean Gochugaru which are red pepper flakes. To this dish I’ve also added chicken powder for depth.
So addictive
These easy chili oil noodles are so darn addictive and delicious, I almost licked the bowl. I can’t even tell you how much I love them. These garlic chili noodles are perfectly balanced in flavour from sweet to salty. With a hint of acidity and that mild spicy kick that won’t numb your tongue like most spicy chili oil garlic noodles.
Why is that? Because instead of using Sichuan Red Pepper Flakes for the chili oil sauce for noodles, I’m using Korean Gochugaru, also known as Red Pepper Flakes in my chilli garlic noodles. This is a bit milder in my humble opinion.
This garlic chili oil noodle recipe is slightly similar to my szechuan noodles or Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles but without the seasoned ground pork, mustard greens and the noodle type is also different.
If you like it spicier
If you like your chilli oil noodles hot and spicy, then feel free to add another teaspoon or more! But I’m making these spicy Chinese noodles for both my husband and I to eat and he is still getting used to spicy food.

Tips for making easy chili garlic oil noodles
- Blanch the udon noodles and don’t overcook them. If you overcook them for more than 2 minutes, you can risk them being soggy.
- Use a bigger bowl to mix to prevent a mess when mixing your Chinese spicy noodles.
- Use fresh ingredients for these chili oil rice udon noodles, it makes a big difference especially for your green onions.
- Make sure that oil is smoking hot and try to use a neutral oil, like avocado or vegetable oil. Any scented oil will transfer to the noodles and make your chili oil taste a bit off.
- Add your hot smoking oil last for this spicy Chinese noodles recipe. This will help cook your raw ingredients, such as the minced garlic and green onions.
- Mix those spicy garlicky noodles well for an even taste.
