Ground pork and scallions are stir fried in a garlicky sauce tossed with noodles and topped with Sichuan chili oil for some added heat. This spicy pork noodles is a simple and extremely delicious noodle dish that can be put together very quickly for an easy weeknight dinner.
Noodle dishes are a favorite everywhere. The husband and I always loved noodles and the kids have taken on that love as well. A quick noodle stir fried with some meat or veggies is something that happens quite often for dinner in this household.
This is the first time I am venturing out of Indo-Chinese cooking to a little more of just the Chinese cuisine territory. This recipe is inspired by Cook’s Country’s take on the Sichuan Dan Dan noodles.
I tinkered around on the internet and loved this recipe for spicy crispy pork noodles by Woks of Life. I kinda combined the elements that I loved about both these recipes and made my own version of it.
The result was just pure genius. Genius, not because it was delicious, which it was. Genius, because something so delicious and flavorful was so easy! I have since made it many times and I have even skipped the pork and used tofu instead with this delicious sauce to make a vegetarian version for me.
Here is why you should definitely try to make this at home
- Easy fool proof noodles recipe that is full of flavor.
- The sauce itself is such a genius recipe that you can use it in many different recipes.
- It is family friendly. My kids love spice and love the Sichuan chili oil in it. But you can totally skip that while serving the kids.
- You will not make this just one time. Trust me!!
