Spicy Soy Sauce Noodles Recipe!
A recipe for soy sauce noodles with red chili flakes.
Ingredients- Noodles (Somen or Choonmyeon) 220g
- Dark Soy Sauce 4 Tbsp
- Sugar 3 Tbsp
- Red Chili Flakes 1 Tbsp
- Sesame Oil 2 Tbsp
- Salt 0.3 Tbsp (adjust to taste)
- Toasted Sesame Seeds 2 Tbsp
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin, please double-check that you have all the ingredients and seasonings listed above prepared. Careful preparation is the first step to a successful dish!
Step 2
Prepare about 220g of noodles, which is roughly for two servings. Boil the noodles in plenty of boiling water for approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the type of noodle (somen or choonmyeon), so feel free to adjust it to your preference for a chewier or softer texture.
Step 3
Immediately after boiling, rinse the noodles thoroughly under cold running water. This step washes away excess starch, resulting in a delightfully chewy noodle texture.
Step 4
Drain the noodles well using a colander. Gently shake or pat the noodles to remove as much water as possible. Transfer the well-drained noodles into a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce. Add 4 tablespoons of dark soy sauce to the noodles in the large bowl.
Step 6
Next, add 1 tablespoon of red chili flakes to bring in that wonderful spicy kick.
Step 7
Follow with 3 tablespoons of sugar for a touch of sweetness.
Step 8
Add just a pinch of salt, about 0.3 tablespoons, to balance the flavors. It’s better to start with less and add more later if needed.
Step 9
Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil for a rich, nutty aroma and flavor.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds generously for added texture and visual appeal.
Step 11
Gently mix all the ingredients together, ensuring the sauce is evenly distributed throughout the noodles. Be careful not to break the noodles while mixing. The goal is to coat every strand with the flavorful sauce.
Step 12
Once everything is well combined, plate your spicy and savory soy sauce noodles attractively. Your delicious and simple meal is ready to be enjoyed!
