Honey Garlic Noodles

We eat a lot of noodles at home. A lot of noodles. They’re so quick to make, filling, and you can make so many dishes with noodles as a base. Also, I’m convinced that eating with chopsticks makes everything better.

Of all the noodle dishes we eat, this is the recipe that is most requested at home. Enjoy!

Honey Garlic Scallion Noodles

Serves 4

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup mirin

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 or 2 finely diced Bird’s Eye chili

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

4 cloves finely sliced garlic

1 tablespoon honey

500g chow mein noodles

1 bunch green onions (scallions) chopped

1 tbsp. finely diced ginger

1 lime

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Bunch of cilantro

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, diced chillies, & sesame seeds. Finely dice your garlic and add it, along with the honey to your sauce. Whisk to combine.

Bring a pot of water to a rolling bowl, and cook your noodles for a couple minutes. You want them to be firm, but slightly softened. Drain.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan or wok on high heat. Add your noodles and ginger, and stirfry for a couple minutes. Add your sauce, and cook for about 1 minute, making sure that the noodles are completely coated in sauce. Add your scallions, juice of 1 lime, and toss to combine.

Serve with chili sauce and fresh cilantro  I also recommend adding a fried egg and finely diced medium rare steak, for next level deliciousness.

Serve immediately.
