What is Szechuan Noodles?

If you are Asian or the one who loves Asian food, you probably know what Szechuan noodles are. For those who do not know how does it tastes, let me explain here. Chinese cuisine is divided based on its region.

And these Szechuan noodles belongs to the Szechuan or Sichuan cuisine. This cuisine is known for its spicy food and has a different 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 one is noodles of course and the second one is chili garlic sauce.

Since it is challenging to find Sichuan peppers here in the United States, we are making them with Chinese chili garlic sauce which is 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 takeaways. If you cannot find the noodles, you can also use store-bought spaghetti.

Chili garlic sauce. Nowadays the grocery stores do carry chili garlic sauce in the Internations Aisles. I do find them in our Walmart and Wegmans. This chili garlic sauce is not only fiery but has a tint of sourness of vinegar.

Rice vinegar. This brings out the whole new dimension to the noodles. Finding them in the regular stores is a hit or miss situations. But these are located in the Asian markets. A small jar can last longer, and it cost a few dollars, which is an advantage for the 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, spring beans are the common vegetables in Asian dishes. But feel free to add in broccoli, celery, Brussel sprouts, mushrooms.
