Easy Spicy Szechuan Noodles Recipe - Indo Chinese Vegetarian Recipe

Before even posting this recipe for my blog, I double-checked with the spelling for Szechuan Noodles. I need to admit that it is a little tricky.

But the method is not that tricky; this vegetarian version of spicy Szechuan noodles(and this hot and spicy Chinese chicken, too) is perfect for bachelor's cooking and an ideal lunch box recipe.

Why we love this recipe?

I can't resist myself till I'm taking these snaps. I switched off the camera, grabbed the plate and fork, and drizzled the sauce. Wow. The spiciness is indeed hitting the tongue.

This spicy vegetarian Chinese recipe is modified to Indian taste. Szechuan Chicken is the best side dish to go with these spicy noodles.

I went with ready-made Szechuan sauce for this Szechuan Noodles Recipe, which made my work much more comfortable. The recipe for these spicy Szechuan noodles is customized with secure, simple procedures. With shredded cabbage, green peppers, carrot, Szechuan, hot, green sauces.

With the same process, you may also make Szechuan Fried Rice, a wholesome dinner recipe that is easier to make.

What is Szechuan Noodles?

If you are Asian or love Asian food, you probably know what Szechuan noodles are. Let me explain here for those who do not know how it tastes. Chinese cuisine is divided based on its region.

And these Szechuan noodles belong to the Szechuan or Sichuan cuisine. This cuisine is known for its spicy food and has a hot pepper called Sichuan pepper. They use garlic and chili peppers widely in their preparations.

These spicy Szechuan noodles are super hot for the average American palette. The main ingredient for this spicy noodles recipe is two. The first is noodles, of course, and the second one is chili garlic sauce.

Since finding Sichuan peppers in the United States is challenging, we make them with Chinese chili garlic sauce available in the leading grocery stores.

The main ingredients

Noodles. The quality of noodles decides the final taste of the spicy Szechuan noodles. So invest in good quality noodles. No 2 minutes or ramen noodles would play perfectly in this recipe.

Making a trip to your local Asian or Indian store is worth making your own better than any Asian takeaway. You can also use store-bought spaghetti if you cannot find the noodles.

Chili garlic sauce. Nowadays, grocery stores do carry chili garlic sauce in the international aisles. I do find them in our Walmart and Wegmans. This chili garlic sauce is fiery and has a tint of sourness of vinegar.

Rice vinegar. This brings out a whole new dimension to the noodles. Finding them in the regular stores is a hit-or-miss situation. But these are located in the Asian markets. A small jar can last longer, and it costs a few dollars, which is an advantage for people who are making Asian food occasionally.

Vegetables. There is no restriction for using the kind of plants. But generally, cabbage, carrot, green pepper, red pepper, and spring beans are the common vegetables in Asian dishes. But add broccoli, celery, Brussels sprouts, and mushrooms.

How to make Spicy Szechuan noodles:

Cook noodles in the boiling water for about 3-4 min, or until the noodles are ¾th done. Immediately drain the water, run cold water, and fatigue that water, too. Keep it aside till we look into the other process.
