Gluten-free Shanghai Noodles

 All the spice! The inspiration for this recipe came from a magical culinary adventure in Shanghai with my husband, Dan. The secret ingredient is the Sichuan Peppercorns which add a big punch and a tongue-titillating numbness! 


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package of chickpea spaghetti noodles
  • 2 Tbl Sriracha oil (from Amazon)
  • 3 Tbl minced garlic
  • Big handful of dried red peppers
  • 1 Tbl chili flakes 
  • 2 Tbl Sichuan peppercorns (from Amazon)
  • 1 Tbl coconut aminos 
  • 1 Tbl golden monkfruit sweetener 
  • 3 chicken thighs cut in bite sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS

  • Prepare noodles as directed on package in a pot
  • Heat oil in a large pan
  • Add spices and sautée for about 5 mins
  • Add chicken to oil and spices and cook through
  • Once noodles are cooked, run under cold water through a colander (to stop the cooking and thus avoid soggy noodles!)
  • Add drained noodles to chicken/oil/spice pan and stir fry for ~ 2 mins 

The noodles are very spicy and tongue-numbing!!! Total tastebud fireworks!!!
