This Szechuan noodles recipe is yet another delicious Asian noodle dish. Whenever I am looking for something quick and easy to prepare, I usually turn to Asian recipes. This pasta dish consists of noodles are tossed with stir-fried steak and a spicy sauce. If you do not want to use steak you could replace it with chicken, pork or shrimp. You could also just leave the meat out completely if you would prefer. Most of the flavor in this recipe comes from ingredients such as garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce. The spice comes from crushed red pepper flakes; you will want to add more or less of them depending on how spicy you like your food to be. For the noodles, you can use pretty much whatever type you prefer such as vermicelli, spaghetti or linguini. If you are looking for a delicious Asian noodle dish, give this one a try. Enjoy.

Do you think carrots and beans will go well with the rice ?
Trisha- A Pinterest button will be available on here soon. Thanks.
Apurva- I am not sure what you mean exactly. I do think carrots and beans would go well with this recipe, but there is no rice in this recipe.
Really good recipe! Thank You!
*Sichuan! Hahaha sorry, the asian/chinese in me is bothered by this, but I guess different people spell things differently, like colour and color. But try adding peanut butter into this (: Trust me
I love dishes like this: so simple and so full of flavour!!
I cant find hoisin sauce in my town. what could i use instead. oyster sauce perhaps?
lacey – I would say that you could use oyster sauce but it will have a different flavor. I don’t know of any good substitute for hoisin sauce. If you do try it with oyster sauce, please let everyone knows how it turns out. Thanks.
Wonderful recipe Bobby! It was so good that I had to post about my experience making your recipe, with my own horrible pictures. š Don’t worry though, I linked back to you about 76 times…okay a couple, because you deserve all of the props! Thanks again and cheers!
