Chili Vegetable Noodles Recipes

SPICY CHILI GARLIC NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.
• Add the shallots and garlic to a pot and saute with the oil until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the white part of the scallions and the grated ginger and saute for 2-3 more minutes.
• Add in all remaining sauce ingredients and whisk together. Start on the low end of the recommended amounts of sriracha and chili sauce (1 tbsp or less for each). It's very easy to make it more spicy if you want, but if it ends up too spicy for you, it's hard to tone it down! Everyone has different tolerance levels, hence the big ranges.
• When the noodles are done cooking, combine with the sauce and toss until well coated. Let simmer for a few minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the flavors. I also tossed in two diced roasted red peppers, but you can also add in any sauteed veggies you like! Taste and adjust flavors as desired. The first bite might not seem that spicy, but it gets spicier the more you eat, so have a few bites before you decide to add extra sriracha or red chili flakes! Serve as is or with any other vegetables or protein of choice. I love adding in bok choy, carrot or cabbage with chicken or tofu.
• Top with red chili flakes for more spice and the remaining chopped scallions. Enjoy!

ULTIMATE VEGGIE CHILI

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the olive oil over medium-high heat until onions are starting to soften. Stir in cumin, chipotle, and red pepper flakes. Crumble the thawed tofu into the mixture and saute 5 minutes more.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add all tomatoes, jalapenos, green chiles, black beans, kidney beans, corn and cashews; mix well. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
• Garnish with sour cream, grated Cheddar, and additional cashews, if desired.
