Spicy Sichuan Noodles are a quick, bold dish featuring tender rice noodles tossed with mushrooms, celery, ginger, and a rich, spicy umami sauce. Perfect for a fast and satisfying meal with customizable heat.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 6 ounces rice noodles
  • 5 ounces button mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chinkiang vinegar or balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add diced celery and cook for about 3 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a few drops of oil if needed to prevent sticking.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and ginger, cooking for 5 to 6 minutes until mushrooms are golden and fragrant.
  4. Stir in gochujang and mix until mushrooms are evenly coated.
  5. Add cooked celery and toss to combine.
  6. Pour in soy sauce and vinegar, stirring well. Turn off heat.
  7. Divide noodles into bowls and top with the spicy mushroom and celery mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add tofu, chicken, or shrimp for extra protein.
  • Swap or add vegetables like bell peppers, bok choy, spinach, or carrots.
  • Adjust spice by reducing or increasing gochujang or adding chili oil.
  • Drizzle sesame oil or sprinkle sesame seeds for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of water.
