Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup peanut oil
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or smashed
- 1-2 teaspoon Baklouti Green Chili Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1-inch fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons raw sesame seeds
- 8 ounces Chinese egg noodles
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1-2 tablespoons chili paste (sambal oelek)
- 1/2-pound ground chicken or pork (optional)
- 1 red onion thinly, sliced
- 4 green onions, chopped, plus more for serving
- 4 baby Bok choy or green cabbage, chopped
Directions:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peanut oil, garlic, ginger, and chili oil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the sesame seeds, cook 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Remove from heat and very carefully transfer the oil to a heat proof bowl or glass jar.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package directions.
- Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, chili paste, and 1/3 cup water in a bowl.
- Place the skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken. Season with black pepper and brown all over, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Add the red and green onions and cook another 2-3 minutes. Slowly pour in the soy sauce mixture and add the Bok choy. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce coats the chicken, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the noodles and 2 tablespoons of the oil mixture made from Step 1. Remove from the heat. Serve the noodles warm, topped with additional chili oil and green onions. Enjoy!
