Ingredients
-
2 Tbsp (30 mL)vegetable oil, neutral tasting
-
6garlic cloves, minced
-
1stalk green onion, sliced, dark green parts separated
-
-
2 Tbsp (30 mL)dark soy sauce
-
-
6heads of baby bok choy
-
2 cups (200 g)frozen shelled edamame beans
Optional garnish
-
toasted sesame seeds
Directions
- In a large pot, cook the noodles according to the package instructions, for us this took 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. When hot, add the garlic and light parts of the green onion. Cook for 2 minutes. Then add the gochugaru and cook for 1 minute longer.
- Drop the heat to low and add the soy sauce, vinegar, and use tongs to add the noodles from the pot to the pan, without draining the cooking water. Mix everything together.
- Add the bok choy and edamame to the pot of boiling water in which the noodles were cooked. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Then drain.
- Serve the noodles in bowls, with the bok choy served alongside them. Garnish with the dark green part of the green onion and sesame seeds if desired. Serve the edamame on the side with a sprinkle of salt overtop. Enjoy!
Notes
- †Gochugaru is made from Korean dried red chili peppers, also known as taeyang-cho. Red chili flakes can be used, but are spicier than gochugaru so it's best to start with less and add more to taste.
- †Black rice vinegar is mostly used in Chinese cuisine and made with fermented glutinous rice. It has a deep, robust flavour and is sweeter than red and white vinegar.
Storage
- The noodles are best when enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Hello there! Huge fan of your recipes by the way, I've been doing dozens of them for years, for myself, friends and family. <3 I have always wondered which type of vegetable oil is best for asian recipes, to be neutral tasting, but also kind of healthy. Olive oil is more healthy, but it has heavy taste, while palm tree oil is far more unhealthy. What do you think?
I thought the noddles were a little one note. Not my favorite Pick Up Limes recipe
So good. So easy! I love garlic, so this recipe is perfect for me, and I really appreciate that this is a less oily version of the restaurant item. Mostly, love that this comes together very quickly and I can easily add in any veggies!
Made it, are it, loved it! Very nice, quick and easy recipe! I just did not have baby bok choy so I did not add them, but I might try to find some to try the "full dish" one day!
One of my absolute favorites! Fast, spicy and tasty!
Simple and delicious 😍
I’m a brand new Vegan for my health and because I’m heartbroken when I drive by farms with adorable and loving animals that have no idea what’s going to happen to them. This was my first recipe on this app. I love Asian flavors and I’ve honestly never had bok choy before until now! Soooo YUMMY! I was completely satisfied and my gut was happy with no regrets!
Love love LOVE this recipe!! So quick and easy. We’ve tried both methods of this recipe outlined in the video and we definitely prefer the flash fry garlic method the best! A great recipe for me to get my dark leafy greens in since I struggle to meet the orbs in this category!
We‘ll keep it, my husband loved it, too!
This recipe is now in my lazy day collection. I used gochujang instead of gochugaru by accident. Instead of pak choy I used spinach. It was super yummy as well. :)
Really tasty! I suggest making sure the noodles you use aren’t the cold-soak type because it’s really hard to readjust the moisture in the rest of the recipe. That said, we accidentally did and it still turned out great!
Keeper :) instead of gochugaru.. I used gochujang! Hubby approved.
Didn’t put anything spicy in it and I only had white rice vinegar. Soooo yummmyyy🙌🏻🔥 will definitely make this again!
We make this recipe all the time - such a quick, easy, delicious and adaptable recipe! We use all different kind of noodles, sometimes add in mushrooms or other additions and it always hits the spot.
One of my favourites!
Delicious! I omitted the spice for my kid and still turned out great! Used rice vinegar (not black version) and it worked out.
There aren't any Taiwanese flat noodles, any Chinese noodle will do.
The noodles are amazing!
Very tasty. I added some oat milk so that it's not too spicy and it also got a bit creamy because of that. I really recommend this recipe, even for people who don't like too much spice
It’s a Yum from me 😋
This looks delicious!
Super tasty! Love how this app combines the instructions with the ingredients on the step by step!
This recipe is amazing! I have cooked it many times and it is always such a treat. I usually add black sesame seeds and some nori too.
This was sooo good! I roasted the edamame to give it more flavor and it was a perfect side. Also very filling! Will definitely make this again.
So good!!! Literally tastes the same as what you’d get from a restaurant except healthier!
Soooo delicious!! 🤤
Great recipe that i've just made this evening. It's simple and quick to make when you're tired, and it tastes amazing. It's quite spicy - just around my limit, which is perfect. A keeper, for only on nights when we're not going out the next day (there's a LOT of garlic! 😂).
Thanks, PUL team, for another great recipe - I'm working my way through the app and loving it! ❤️
This dish is fabulous! I used linguine because I couldn't find the recommended noodles. Love how easy but tasty this recipe is. I'm enjoying this app! So many recipes I can't wait to try.
Very easy and tasty :)
So good
Loved it!
Absolutely delicious! I also added zucchini noodles to it. Not a traditional addition but tasty.
One of my all time favourite PUL recipes, along with the One Pot Creamy Mushroom Pasta. I usually make extra sauce and either add more noodles so I can have leftovers or add some extra veg. Incredibly simple and versatile. If you can find the Taiwanese noodles, they really elevate the dish.
A favourite in our home. This is so delicious and so easy to make!
This was my first time trying gochugaru and I love it! These flavors are so addicting. Another one for dinner rotation!
This looks delicious
Everything on app is amazing
We have favourites and can’t wait to add to shopping list
Can I use store-bought garlic paste instead of minced garlic? Thank you. Your app is perfection!! 👌🏼
Hi dear, can you kindly tell me if i can use gochugaru† paste instead of powder? If yes, then how much to add?
Good recipe, but I would add Tofu the next time. Otherwise I was getting hungry too soon.
Loved this recipe. Used gochujang instead bc it’s all I had. Will definitely make again!
Super tasty! 🔥 I used sliced cucumber instead of pak choy and it was delicious. One tiny thing to improve: Vinegar is listed in step 2, you are supposed to add it in step 3 according to the instructions.
Honestly an all time favorite! SOO good! Been following you for so many years and you NEVER disappoint. This app is awesome as well! We appreciate you!
It says to swap for red chili flakes but WAY TOO SPICY. It should be added in the notes.
Very tasty. Very quick to make.
next level amazing
Divine! I had to use Sambal Oelek. On the rotation. Thank you!
Made a few small swaps based on what I had in the fridge but sooooooo good! In attempt to get the family to incorporate more plant based dishes into our diets this was a winning start. Thank you!
These are very very nice. Quick, easy and delish 😋
Made this tonight! Did everything the same as her restaurant style version she demonstrated on YouTube which has the same ingredients as this but different cooking method. I did swap the dark soy sauce for tamari to be gluten free. And I didn’t have black rice vinegar so I used regular rice vinegar. Feedback from hubs was “this is freakin’ amazing!!” You got his vote for sure! I enjoyed it very much as well but will test out a few minor modifications in future. Specifically, I don’t love the hint of vinegar taste so I would leave that out. I think my substitutions were a bit less sweet than the original ingredients so I will try a very small amount of maple syrup. And I think I might want even more garlic. Can’t wait to try again!!
Delicious! I loved it. My daughter and husband did not care for the edamame or bok choy so next time I will probably pair it with peas.
Made it tonight, so easy and delicious! My family also liked it a lot! Definitely one for my favourites list!
Delicious, slurp-worthy recipe! I too was obsessed with street food chowmein, and chilly garlic noodles growing up and in my Uni days. I tried to make this recipe several times but it came out just okay. Thanks for sharing your recipe tastes so similar to the takeout and I can make a healthier version of it right at home. I love the pictures and the make feature so that you know where you are in the cooking process. Also, love the check-off, grocery list and the nourish feature makes you feel you are not dealing with numbers but with nutrition.
This one is such a nice recipe.
It’s easy to make, requires few ingredients and simply tastes delicious. Perfect for a weekday meal if you don’t feel like cooking that much.
Love your recipes and your YouTube Channel🥰🥰. I'm not vegan but your recipes are do delicious 🤤 and your videos are so beautifully made.
It is so good. I am gone take it for lunch today
WHERE in Paris I can get goshugaru? I searched in 2 Asian épiceries- tong and sth else and they didn’t hear of it.. I’ve only seen ‘piment fort’ - cayenne pepper..
I’m dying to do this, the way Sadia made it in the video literally made my mouth watered ..
And I boycot Amazon- they are horrible for the planet, local commerces, unethical and enslaving and bullying their workers- they literally made people work I’ve r their collègue dead body for several hours before they called the authorities in some American city and that’s only top of the iceberg, so please no Amazon ..
These noodles look delicious! I see that you can buy them on Amazon, but do you know of a particular shop where you can buy these in the Netherlands, or should I just visit my local Toko?
I love this one.
It' s a Quick fix on days I am not in the humor to cook a lot.
One can vary a lot for example put a few more veggis to the garlic like bellpeppers etc. Or use Spaghetti noodles.
It' s very tasty and filling. I give it a thumps up.
Thanks for this lovely recipie.
It was very tasty and easy to make! We hid some cabbage in there as well :)
I‘m always looking for quick and easy recipes, so that i‘m not tempted to order food so often. This recipe here is so great! Made it twice already, both times when i was in a hurry and really didn‘t want to cook, but i didn‘t regret it because it is so yummy!
Made it 4 or 5 times already… love this! Super quick, easy and yummy.
How do you eat so much gluten and stay healthy?
I don't have an asian grocery store where I live, so I just tried the red pepper flakes - i tried to offset the spiciness by adding some dates and I feel like it worked super well! I didn't have bock choy either but broccoli worked well and tasted excellent 😊
These were really quick and easy to make and was perfect for a mod week dinner, however did find it really spicy than expected
Absolutely love this! I may have eaten all of it myself.
This was super easy and quick to put together
I didn't believe that this recipe would be as easy as it is!! I've made it several times and each time I've gotten faster as I get more familiar with the recipe and the timing.
It's seriously delicious, and I've made it several times in the last few weeks just because I keep getting cravings for it! I tend to use slightly less gochugaru and slightly more garlic, rice wine vinegar (as that's what we have in our pantry), and serve with steamed broccoli and edamame.
Thank you for another recipe to add to our rotation, PUL!!
So tasty and comes together so quickly!
This recipe is so delicious. Everyone I have made it for loves it. Even the non-spice lovers. I have made it exactly as shown (bought the ingredients online). I have also altered with whatever asian rice flat noddles are available in my nearby grocery store & have also added chicken or shrimp on the side.
Obsessed with this recipe! Quick, delicious and affordable. It is now staple in our home.
I just made this last night for the first time and it was INCREDIBLE! So easy, so satisfying. I used regular soy sauce and rice vinegar because that's what I had on hand but it still turned out delicious!
PS. I wish those noodles were easier to find in stores, they are heavenly!
Quick Garlic chilli noodles, yes please!
This recipe could not be more easy to make and delicious to eat.
PUL team gave us a recipe we can easily make any evening, since we already got most of the ingredients in our pantry.
Highly recommend it to add to your quick dinner list.
Thanks for this recipe. Keep up the good work!
I tried the homemade version (with less oil) and WOW! Best 10-minute lunch ever!
Thank you, I love your content.
I have made this dish at least once every week since you posted it ! It is incredibly easy, yummy and quick to make. Perfect for the Friday evening, to replace the take out dish…. Thank you Pick up limes team, this is my favourite recipe !
(I even made a batch of the sauce to have it on hand every time… it tastes great after four days in the fridge for those who want to try)
I'm obsessed with this recipe. A spicy noodle dish during winter? Yes, please! I threw in some chopped up cabbage and frozen peas and it turned out wonderful. I topped it with a 6 minute egg and some sliced seaweed, but it would shine all on its own. Thank you PUL for another kickass recipe.
really easy, greasy and delicious!
This is insanely delicious! I love how you make it so easy to sub out ingredients and double recipes. Thank you!
I tried this today and it is absolutely delicious . Thank you for the recipe
Tried the recipe last night and it was delicious! I didn't have in shelled edamame, so I just thawed the edamame beans I had and mixed them in with the noodles instead of serving as a side dish and it was perfect :) Will absolutely make those noodles again!!!
The Spicy Garlic Noodle Takeout version was excellent. Thank you for your commitment to sharing nutritious vegan recipes. I can’t wait to make this dish again.
We loved this recipe, we ate it twice this week! We have been recommending it to all our friends :)
Oh my God, Sadia, I just made this recipe for the second time (restaurant style the first time, home style just now) and IT IS THE BEST FREAKING LUNCH I EVER HAD! 😊😊😊😋😋😋 I made it with Brokkoli and some green bell pepper and it was SO GOOD! And so quick to throw together, I LOVE it. Sorry for all the captions, hehe, but I'm just so excited. Brightened up the dark December day here in Germany ☀️😃
Thanks for all your work, I love the blog and the channel.
😍
The best quick comfort meal, especially with hectic school or work schedules! It's honestly better than takeout, and the restaurant method in the video is great if you are craving takeout style. Today instead of cooking the noodles separately I just added dried ramen and water to the pan and cooked the noodles that way, tasted really nice too!
I eat these probably once a week now!
Do you sell a cookbook? It's so much easier than looking online, for some of us. I haven't been able to find one, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place?
Yumyumyumyum!!
I made restaurant-style with broccolini and edamame tonight. So good!!! I’m just blown away recipe after recipe that I try of yours. . I’d expect a good one here and there from a source. But time after time yours are a 10/10. So many lifetime keepers. Thanks!
Have anything up your sleeve for a mothers woman's group? We do a monthly brunch style potluck roughly 15 people. Would love to share with them one of your creations.
Really good...but, the next time I make it I will not add as much chili flakes as this was just way to spicy. Even for my extra spicy loving husband. My lips are still burning. Thankfully I made a lot of bok choy, so it toned it down some. I adjusted the servings to 4 so both my husband and I could have it tonight and tomorrow which then called for 2 tbsp of the gochugaru.....next time I'll do just 1 tbsp.
Otherwise, super good.
Literally just finished eating this and had to leave a message! This was so tasty 😋 adding this into regular rotation
Oh my god, this was so good I had to make it three times over in the same evening! I made it restaurant-style with 2 tbsp sizzling oil per portion, and it was amazing. My new favourite dinner! Gochugaru is a magical ingredient. Thank you!
Amazing !!
So delicious, take away flavour at home, but still healthy!
Mmm.. This recipe was delicious! I sawpped out bok choy for broccoli, (I'm allergic) but it was still amazing, although i'm not suprised, I love your recipes! I shared it with my picky girlfriend, and even she loved it! (Im also not a good cook). Thank you so much for this recipe!
We had to make some substitutions to what we had on hand, like ramen noodles and shallots. This is definitely going on our weeknight list. Our 1 year old devoured it!
I loved how easy and quick this recipe was, not to mention utterly delicious!! I used brown rice noodles to make it GF which worked very well. I especially loved the addition of edamame in their shell as a side. I hadn't had these in ages and they were a real treat!
I can't believe how easy and deeply satisfying this was to eat. I used ramen noodles as I didn't have anything else; very delicious! Many thanks for sharing :)
We tried both version. The restaurant style turns out better for me, but my partner prefers the one with less oil. It will become our staple. Thank you a lot! ❤️
Omg this recipe is CRAZY good. I made it for lunch on Monday and twice again since then (and it is only Thursday). Simple with incredible flavor and an absolute breeze to slam together. I couldn’t find black vinegar at my local grocery store, so I just used seasoned rice vinegar and it still worked out beautifully. Thank you for another winner!
I loved this recipe so much! I didn't have any wheat noodles, so I used instant ramen, (also because I didn't have enough time) and it was so rich and flavorful. Would definitly make this again!
So delicious! My husband and I never had garlic noodles before. We used pad Thai rice noodles to keep it gluten free. And we found the gochugaru at Whole Foods. Super easy to make and we doubled it for leftovers (we love leftovers!). The gochugaru is a nice zesty flavor, without being spicy. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this recipe. Yum!!)
Wow! tried making this for lunch, and it was AMAZING! I made this for myself and packed it for my lunch, and the flavor kept for almost 6 hours! Would definitly make this if I had friends over and needed a quick, easy meal. I love your recipes! 🥰
We did flash fry version Saturday then Sunday night we meal prepped homestyle way! It was so good! 5/5!!!
I really loved this quick noodle recipe. Made it for lunch. Very easy and super fast and that's what I need but super delicious
Delicious quick and easy meal. Perfect for this time of year when you want something warming and comforting which is also hassle free to make. I will definitely be having this again.
So good!! Quick and delicious! This will go in the weeknight rotation for sure!
This recipe is AMAZING!! Thank you! It was very easy to follow and the flavor was on point. I never had boiled bok choy before but I'm going to incorporate it into meals more often now.
I just tried this recipe and it was Delicous!! I subbed the wheat noodles with pad Thai rice noodles and it was super good! I would love to see more quick easy meals.
So yummy, added some fresh lemon juice, and bit of brown sugar. So satisfying!
As soon as I saw this video on YouTube, I had to make this! First, I searched for gochugaru and black rice vinegar in the Asian grocery store and then I got to work. This was really good, thank you for posting this recipe. The only change I made was steaming the Bok Choy instead of boiling and serving it with Ume Plum Vinegar, Flax Oil and Gomashio (from the cookbook "The Kind Diet" by Alicia Silverstone, so very yummy). Please post more recipes that only take 15-20 min - I love to eat but I don't like cooking ; )
Great quick recipe. We just used what we had (regular chilli flakes but a little less and mie noodles) and it tastes better than take out. I agree that you need a side of veggie and protein. I think we will just add some bell pepper or carrot and edamame directly to the noodles next time.
Sadia, loved this recipe. Even my partner, who barely likes anything, loved it! We only didn't get it as saucy as you as we cooked 5 servings. But flavor was on point. Thaaanks :*
Actually had everything on hand to make this recipe, and may I say: yummy! So fast, so easy, and SO GOOD! Thanks PUL!
Made it right after I saw the notification of the video haha! I added some leftover carrots which I thinly sliced. And what can I say - it’s always a pleasure to cook something from PUL, tastes amazing and delicious! 🤌❤️
