My favorite Chinese food is Sichuan food, from the Sichuan province in China.
Sichuan food is famous for its spicy and numbing flavors and I am addicted to it.
Imagine fiery hot taste and tingly lips when you have Sichuan food, eating Sichuan food is really the best gastronomic experience ever!
One of my favorite noodles in Sichuan cuisine is Dan Dan Noodles, but sometimes, I just love the plain Spicy Sichuan Noodles that is often served cold (slightly below room temperature).
I always order this dish when I dine out at Sichuan restaurants.
This is my recipe, perfected to match restaurant’s quality.
You don’t need protein in the noodles as it’s absolutely flavorful and addictive.
Make a side dish of stir-fried vegetables such as bok choy and you will have a delightful and complete meal.
Enjoy!

Bee, when making the ‘chili oil’ for the Spicy Sichuan Noodles Recipe, you say to use 5 Tbs of oil. What kind of oil do you suggest using? And, for the ‘sauce’, you say to use 2 Tbs of soy sauce. Does the type of soy sauce matter? Regular, low sodium, dark, etc ?
Thanks!
Rasa Malaysia
Vegetable oil or any kind of oil is fine.
Rasa Malaysia
And soy sauce means regular soy sauce. Low sodium is fine. But not dark soy sauce.

What filer are you referring to when you say filter the chili oil with the filter?
Rasa Malaysia
A strainer.
Melissa
I am unclear about what it means to filter the chili oil with the filter. What filter? Thanks! This recipe sounds delicious and I’m looking forward to making it.
Rasa Malaysia
I updated the recipe, I meant filter with a strainer and just keep the oil and discard the residue.
Amy
Can I just use prebought chili oil?

We have a food truck here in Charlotte called “The Dumpling Lady” and her specialty is the “Burning Noodles” served COLD. I insisted I wanted a HOT temperature dish prepared and not cold, and each time, she would tell me that I should try the cold, that it incorporates ALL the amazing flavours together and they are so delicious that way. FINALLY, I gave in and said “what the hell,” gimme the burning noodles cold.” I tried them that day, and NEVER looked back. They aren’t really served “cold” they are more just “cool, room temperature.” I promise you, you will prefer them cold if you try them that way. Its the best way to experience the “sichuan” way. :-) <3

Yes you have to try these Spicy Sichuan noodles cold. Much better than hot or warm. ;)
Amanda
I tried this recipe of yours and it tasted amazing! My husband and I love it so much!

Hi Amanda, thanks for trying my spicy Sichuan noodles recipe. :)
Erica
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made it tonight and I think I have questions vefore I make it again next time.
1. I ised Iron Man Brand flat egg noodles, do you think this had anything to do with why my noodles turned out whiter in appearance rather than the darker brown as shown in the recipe photo?
2. If not, should I have added more sauce?
3. After I removed the lid from the oil, everything was black and looked burned. Is this the normal appearance after it sets 5 minutes? (I did strain away the bits of chili and peppercorns aftwrwards!)
Just making sure I followed correctly. The flavour was good but the colour was off!
Rasa Malaysia
HI Erica, for the noodles I used this noodle: https://www.mccormick.com/simply-asia/products/noodles-and-broth/chinese-style-lo-mein-noodles
Yes, you can double the sauce.
If they burn, let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Don’t have to be 5 minutes. I let it sit because I wanted the full body aroma and flavor from the Sichuan peppercorn. After straining, use the top part and discard the residue (black part).
If you want the color to be redder, you can use bottled La Yu that you can buy off the shelf.

How do you calculate the calorie intake?
It seems way of to me.
Other than that, it looks and sounds delicious.

Would these also be known as Oil Noodles? We used to get them in a dumpling restaurant here but they changed hands and don’t serve them anymore. I have been searching for something comparable and these hit the mark. I add vegetables and meat at times for a full meal. These are FABULOUS. So very delicious. Love the Chili hit. But not just a hit hit, so very flavourful . They have become a standard meal in our house. Thank you so very much for this recipe.
