Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chinese noodles — Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, but make sure to slightly undercook them as they will be stir-fried later and can become too soft if fully cooked initially.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of heat, add more sliced red chili or sprinkle some chili flakes on top before serving.
• Adjust the spiciness according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of chili bean paste.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute the chili bean paste with a milder chili sauce.
• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or bok choy, to the stir-fry for added freshness and crunch.
• To make it more substantial, you can add a fried egg or serve the dish with a side of steamed vegetables.

Serving advice

Serve the Fiery Liaoning Noodles hot as a main course. Garnish with additional chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the noodles neatly on a serving platter or individual plates. The vibrant red color of the dish will make it visually appealing. Consider adding a sprinkle of crushed Sichuan peppercorns on top for an extra touch of authenticity.
