Sweet & Spicy Garlic Noodles

DESCRIPTION

Sweet & Spicy Garlic Noodles are quick and easy, ready in 15 minutes. They’re vegan and so tasty and the asian sauce has only 5 ingredients . It’s the best quick noodle bowl.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 tbsps Braggs liquid aminos, I don’t recommend soy sauce, it would be way to salty (optionally 2 tbsp lite and 2 tbsp dark)
• 1 & 1/2 – 2 & 1/2 tbsps chili garlic sauce, I use 2 & 1/2 and it’s spicy? but oh so good (optionally sambal oelek)
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsps sugar (optionally palm sugar)
• 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
• 1/4–1/3 cup chopped green onions, green part only, ( 3–4 green onions)
• 227 grams (1/2 lb) (8 oz) your choice of pasta noodles, I use spaghettini or rice stick noodles

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook pasta noodles according to package instructions, drain them  but don’t rinse them and save 1 cup of the pasta water
2. While pasta is cooking whisk together first five sauce ingredients in a  bowl, set aside.
3. Add cooked pasta and sauce bowl ingredients to a saute pan on medium heat and mix with tongs. (if needed you can add some of the reserved pasta water for more of a ‘saucy’ dish).
4. Top with green onion before serving.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
6. **Note – the video instructions are a bit different than these instructions. I cook the noodles al dente, then finish cooking them in a saute pan for better sauce absorption.

NOTES

• For the chili garlic sauce, it’s up to you how much you use, maybe start with 1 -1 & 1/2 tbsps, if you’re worried about the heat, you can always add more
• Feel free to add steamed veggies, meat, tofu, toasted sesame seeds or whatever floats your boat. I like these noodles as is for a quick and easy noodle bowl snack on my couch.
