Garlic Chilli Oil Noodles

I love recipes I can throw together in under 30 minutes. Being a busy mum, I have so much going on all day. So I always try making as many quick recipes as possible. This recipe is a permanent addition to my quick meals list. Believe it or not, these garlic chilli oil noodles come together in under 15 minutes.

The chilli oil in the recipe is homemade. I make it myself because it tastes so much better. You can find the recipe here. I know the jar stuff is easier to add to your noodles. But this fresh chilli oil is just so much better. You can make a huge batch of the chilli oil and just put it in a jar to be used for up to 6 months.
