Ingredients
Scale
Rice Paper Noodles
- 8 sheets rice paper
- 2–3 Tbsp avocado oil (for brushing and chili oil)
Gochujang Chili Oil Sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp red chili flakes
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 Tbsp green onions, chopped
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp gochujang (Korean fermented chili paste)
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp warm water or chicken broth
- Pinch of salt (adjust to taste)
Garnish
- Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Prep the Rice Paper Noodles: Dip 2-3 pieces of rice paper in warm water until they soften. Stack them evenly and place on a cutting board. Brush both sides with avocado oil to prevent sticking, then cut into 1-inch wide noodles. Transfer the sliced noodles to a bowl of cold water to keep hydrated. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets.
- Make the Chili Oil Sauce: Combine red chili flakes, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, sugar, and gochujang in a heatproof bowl. Heat avocado oil in a small pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, then carefully pour the hot oil over the mixture. It will sizzle and release a wonderful aroma. Stir in soy sauce, warm water or broth, and salt, mixing well.
- Toss Noodles with Sauce: Drain the rice paper noodles from cold water and add them to the chili oil sauce bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat each noodle strand evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish and Serve: Top the noodles with chopped cilantro for a fresh herby contrast. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, chewy rice paper noodles.
Notes
- Brush rice paper with oil to prevent noodles from sticking together.
- Adjust the chili flakes and gochujang quantities to customize spice level.
- Try adding toppings like crispy shallots, crushed peanuts, or a soft-boiled egg for added texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day; refresh with warm water before eating.
