Ingredients for Chilli Garlic Noodles

This simple Chilli Garlic Noodles dish is so flavorful and tasty because the noodles were seasoned with a combination of Western and Eastern seasoning blends.

The seasoning blend contains red chili pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, parmesan cheese, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and oyster sauce.

• Noodles. To make this dish, you can use spaghetti or lo-mein. I personally used spaghetti because this time as it just happens to be the type of noodles available in my pantry right now.
• Oyster Sauce. It is a common condiment used in Asian cooking, especially for stir-fry recipes. It’s made from oyster extracts, sugar, salt, and water, then thickened withcorn starch. Oyster Sauce has a sweet and savory sauce with a deep, earthy flavor. You can purchase oyster sauce at any grocery store or specialty market. A high-quality oyster sauce is naturally dark.

The combination of these ingredients creates the umami taste and really brings out the best of the flavors. No MSG added!
