Description

Quick, flavorful, and ready in minutes!
Perfect for a weeknight meal or a simple lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Angel hair or thin vermicelli
  • Fresh Spinach leaves
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Red chili crumbled
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Schezuan stir-fry sauce

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the angel hair or vermicelli according to package directions until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes for angel hair. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers.
  3. Crumble the red chili into the hot oil and let it sizzle for about 10 seconds, stirring so it does not burn.
  4. Crush or mince the garlic and add it to the wok. Stir for 15 to 20 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the fresh spinach in large handfuls, tossing with tongs. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the leaves are just wilted but still bright green.
  6. Add the cooked noodles and pour the Szechuan stir-fry sauce over everything. Toss continuously with tongs for about 1 minute, making sure every strand is evenly coated.
  7. Serve hot straight from the wok.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the garlic cloves lightly in the oil before adding the spinach.
  • If fresh spinach is unavailable, use 1 cup of frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.
  • Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the noodles may absorb some moisture.
