I was supposed to cook Spaghetti Bolognese but my mum dislike tomato sauce, so I decided to make this easy spicy Sichuan beef noodle. It’s pretty much using the same Bolognese ingredients that I have prepared, but minus the Italian seasoning! It’s so easy, I make this using what I have in the pantry.
Jump to RecipeWhat kind of noodle can I use?
This recipe would be best using udon, egg noodle, or any kind of rice noodles as well. Personally, I am using spaghetti because it’s what I have. Feel free to change the noodles to your liking to make this easy spicy Sichuan beef noodle.
What if I don’t have Sichuan Chili Oil?
I cheated here cause I have some leftover Sichuan Chili Oil from takeaway food. Shoutout to Super Yumcha for making this delicious Sichuan Chili Oil. The other option is to get Sichuan Peppercorn, roast it on a pan and grind it in the mortar and pestle. If you have a spice grinder, that would be easier too.
How to make Sichuan Chili Oil from scratch?
Honestly, I have only made it once and it was alright. But, let’s leave this to the pro. I was watching Marion’s Youtube channel to actually make my own version of it. She’s definitely one of my go-to channels to watch cooking shows. Click here for her Sichuan-style Chili Oil.
What kind of sambal are you using?
My go-to sambal is ABC Sambal Bawang Pedas which means it contains garlic and it has extra heat! Best for cooking and as dip for deep frying dish as well.
Do you have other easy non-spicy noodle recipe?
Yes, I do! If you are not into spicy food, click here for the Japanese Udon recipe or here for Hong Kong Beef Noodle soup. I would update more noodle recipes in the future. Maybe next time, Indonesian-style noodle!
