Sometimes I just crave spicy noodles. They are so warming in winter and comforting year round. Spicy vegan noodles are the perfect pick me up. This recipe is so simple and made with just a few staples in the cupboard. If you’re a spicy noodle fan then this recipe is for you. With a little fire but plenty of taste this is a spicy noodle recipe that really works. We either have the noodles as a side dish to a main course or as a big, steaming bowlful to enjoy with a couple of spring rolls on the side. These chilli oil noodles really hit the spot. We always love to cook up recipes from our travels. These take me back to travelling through Asia, from all the wonderful food of Malaysia to the spice of China. I can’t get enough of them.
