Fideos con Salsa Hoisin y Aceite de Chili

Ingredientes

• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce (plus more to taste if needed)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1-3 tsp chilli powder
• 1/2-1 tsp ground szechuan pepper (, great for that additional heat and numbing spice but optional)
• Bunch of fresh coriander (chopped (you can also sub this with some green onions or scallions))
• 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce (optional for colour)
• 1/2 tbsp liquid sweetener or sugar (optional for added sweetness if using pure hoisin sauce and not the sweetened hoisin condiment)
• 3 tbsp neutral oil ((avocado, sunflower, vegetable, etc.))
• 5.2 oz dry rice noodles or other noodles of choice
• More hoisin sauce or soy sauce (to taste if needed)
• More chopped coriander or green onions
• Garlic chili oil
• Extra firm tofu or protein of choice
• Veggies of choice

Preparación

1. 1

   In a large heat proof bowl, add all the hoisin chili oil ingredients except the oil.

2. 2

   Heat the oil in the pot over medium to medium high heat for 3-4 minutes or until sizzling hot. To test the heat, you can add a small piece of garlic and it should immediately sizzle.

3. 3

   Turn off the heat then immediately pour the oil over the bowl of hoisin and chili. Enjoy the sizzle and mix well.

4. 4

   You can use the same pot for the oil to cook your noodles. Cook the noodles until chewy or cooked to your liking. Drain from the water. If you’d like, you can quickly run the noodles through water to wash off any excess starch.

5. 5

   Add in the cooked noodles and mix well into the hoisin garlic oil mixture. Taste your noodles and feel free to season with more hoisin sauce or soy sauce, if desired.

6. 6

   Add in any protein/veggies of choice (if using) and finish with some garlic chili oil/sauce & more coriander, if desired.

7. 7

   This is best enjoyed hot.
