Chilli Garlic Noodles

Chilli garlic noodles is a quick and easy recipe to satiate your Chinese takeout cravings in minutes. This is a super simple recipe that gets ready in less than 30 minutes, totally customizable and makes for an excellent hearty dinner. Vegan recipe.
One of my favorite Chinese noodles preparation is garlic noodles loaded with chili flakes. According to me very few Chinese restaurants and takeout gets this dish right, often times they either dump loads of garlic or just drench the noodles in chili oil making it too pungent or spicy.
