Ingredients

• 200 grams Whole wheat or gluten-free noodles
• 8 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
• 4 stalks Spring onions (white and green parts separated, chopped)
• 1 large Carrot (julienned)
• 1 medium Capsicum (thinly sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 teaspoons Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the noodles as per the package instructions. Drain and toss them with a few drops of olive oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves into thin pieces.

Step 3

Heat a large pan or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and cook until it turns golden and slightly burnt, releasing a nutty aroma. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become too bitter.

Step 5

Add the red chili flakes and the white parts of the spring onions to the pan, stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Toss in the julienned carrot and sliced capsicum. Stir-fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes, keeping them crisp and vibrant.

Step 7

Lower the heat and add the cooked noodles to the pan. Drizzle the soy sauce over the noodles, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 8

Gently toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce and infused with the garlic flavor.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer the noodles to serving bowls or plates. Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your burnt garlic noodles!
