Creating 10 Minute Chili Oil Udon Noodles is straightforward. Follow these steps:

1. Cook Udon Noodles: Boil water in a pot. Add udon noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes). If you’re using dried noodles, follow the cooking time specifications on the packaging.

2. Prepare Ingredients: While the noodles cook, mince garlic and chop spring onion. Gather other optional ingredients like vegetables and proteins.

3. Make the Chili Oil Mix: In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of chili oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. Add Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil: Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix well to combine the flavors.

5. Drain Noodles: Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add them directly to the garlic-chili oil mixture in the pan.

6. Add Vegetables and Proteins: If you’re using any optional vegetables or proteins, add them to the pan now. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly with the mixture.

7. season: Taste the noodles and add salt as necessary.

8. Garnish and Serve: Once everything is well-mixed and heated through (about 1-2 minutes), remove from heat. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with chopped spring onion and sesame seeds (if desired).
