Phoenix Fire Spicy Noodles

Ingredients

• 8 oz of rice noodles
• A couple of tbsp of vegetable oil

• A splash of soy sauce
• 1 tbsp of chili paste
• A handful of chopped green onions
• 1 tsp of sugar
• A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Boil 4 cups of water in a pot and cook the rice noodles for 8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until golden.
3. Add the chili paste, soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir for 1 minute to blend the flavors.
