Ingredients
- 5.2 oz dry noodles of choice ((2 servings) I used knife cut noodles)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (, see notes)
- 3 cloves garlic (, minced)
- 1/2 small shallot (or red onion)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tbsp chilli power (, optional for extra spice)
- 1/4 cup oil (, I used olive oil)
- 1.5 to 2 tbsp vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce (, to taste)
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice (juice from 1 lime)
Instructions
- Noodles – prepare your noodles and slightly undercook until still very chewy. I ran my noodles through cold water to stop it from cooking. Set aside. I quickly rinsed the pot and dried it well and used the same pot to heat the oil later on.
- In a large heat proof bowl, add the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, shallot or red onion, curry powder, sugar, and chilli powder.
- Heat the oil in the pot over medium to medium high heat for 3-4 minutes or until hot and you start to see small bubbles. To test the heat, you can add a small piece of garlic and it should immediately sizzle.
- Turn off the heat then immediately pour the oil over the bowl of cilantro, garlic, shallot/onion, and seasonings. Enjoy the sizzle and mix well.
- Add in the vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well.
- Add cooked noodles and mix to coat in the sauce mixture. Taste the noodles and feel free to season with more veg oyster sauce, if needed
- Finish with some chili oil/sauce, if desired. Enjoy while hot!
Notes
- See notes regarding the chopped fresh cilantro.
