Notes
- The noodles can easily serve 4 people when moderately hungry. Otherwise, this is good enough for 2 people as lunch or brunch.
- Leftovers and Storage - I always double the quantity, store the leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight glass container. It stays fresh for a couple of days (hasn't lasted more than that), can be reheated in a microwave. I have never frozen leftover noodles.
- Please note that this is a spicy stir fry noodles recipe. If you want to dial down the spice or heat, please adjust the quantities of chilies and condiments used.
- Other than spaghetti, I regularly use Udon Noodles, Soba Noodles, Linguine for making Chilli Garlic Noodles at home. For Gluten Free recipe, try Rice Noodles or any store bought GF noodles.
- For a 100% GF recipe, use Tamari instead of Soy Sauce.
- The recipe is Vegan and does not contain Nuts.
