Khao-Chi

DETAILS

Step-1 Homemade Chilli Oil
Heat neutral oil until shimmering, then remove from the heat. Add chilli flakes, garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Stir and leave to infuse while you prepare the rest.
Step-2 Crispy Tofu
Pat tofu dry. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan for the tofu in a single layer until golden and crisp on all sides. Add soy sauce, toss for 30 seconds, then set aside.
Step-3 Char the Peppers
In the same pan, add a little oil and cook the sliced capsicums on high heat. Leave them untouched for 2-3 minutes to get char marks, then toss and cook for another minute. Set aside.
Step-4 Garlic Ginger Base
Add a little oil to the pan, then fry the garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add vinegar and sugar, then stir for 30 seconds to create a quick glaze.
Step-5 Cook the Noodles
Cook the Khao Chi Schezwan noodles as per pack instructions. Add the seasoning and vegetable sachets, then toss well. Mix in the garlic ginger glaze and stir on high heat for 1 minute.
Step-6 Build the Bowl
Twirl the noodles into a bowl. Add crispy tofu on one side and charred peppers on the other. Drizzle over the homemade chilli oil.
Step-7 Finish & Serve
Top with spring onions, sesame seeds and fresh coriander. Finish with a squeeze of lime and serve hot.
