- 3 green onions, white part and green part separated
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) red pepper flakes, more to taste
- 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 milliliters) mild chili powder
- 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons (22 to 30 milliliters) garlic, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) parmesan, grated
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) light brown sugar, more to taste
- Salt to taste
Oils and Sauces:
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 milliliters) sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) neutral oil (vegetable, peanut, canola)
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and cook the noodles until they reach a perfectly tender al dente texture, following the package guidelines precisely.
- Prepare a flavor-packed mixture by combining finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, fiery red pepper flakes, robust chili powder, umami-rich soy sauce, grated parmesan, subtle brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Create a sizzling aromatic base by heating sesame oil, neutral cooking oil, and creamy butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until the oils shimmer and emit an intense fragrance.
- Carefully remove the hot oil mixture from the heat and dramatically pour it over the prepared seasoning blend, allowing the ingredients to crackle and meld together, releasing their complex flavors.
- Gently fold the spicy oil mixture into the cooked noodles, ensuring each strand is evenly coated with the vibrant, zesty sauce.
- Elevate the dish by garnishing with additional fresh green onion slices, a generous sprinkle of parmesan cheese, and extra chili flakes for those craving an intensified heat level.
- Serve immediately while piping hot, allowing the aromatic oils and seasonings to tantalize the taste buds with their bold, dynamic flavor profile.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes and chili powder to match personal spice tolerance.
- Experiment with different noodle types like udon, rice, or spaghetti for varied textures and flavor experiences.
- Leftover oil can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week, perfect for quick meal preparations.
