Best Crack Noodles recipe – cook under 30 minutes

crack noodles

Crack Noodles are called so for a reason! You get too addicted to them. And the best part is that they are super easy to cook. No complicated ingredients or techniques, and yields amazing results. I used rice pad thai noodles as I had some left at home – but you can swap for any other kind available to you. Check out the Pad Thai noodles I made a while back here.

Ingredients for Crack Noodles – serves 4

  • Pad Thai Noodles – 1/3rd packet or about 160g
  • Spring onions – 2 stems about 100g
  • Red onion – 1 large
  • Garlic cloves – 4, minced
  • Ginger – 1/2 inch, minced
  • Soy sauce – 3 tbsp
  • Brown sugar – 1 tbsp
  • Chilli sauce – 2 tbsp, mine was super hot since I used Bira Hot sauce, which is REALLY hot. Use more, if required.
  • Honey – 2 tbsp
  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp

Method

  • Boil water in a large pot. Lower the heat and add the noodles. Let the noodles cook for 5 minutes. Rice pad Thai cook very easily, strain when the noodles are completely opaque. And put in a cold water bath to avoid sticking.
  • Wash the spring onions and chop both the greens and white onion bulbs.
  • Peel and slice the red onion.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add the sliced red onions, cook until crispy and set aside.
  • Add the ginger-garlic mince, and chopped white onion, cook until the onion becomes transparent.
  • Mix in the greens, reserving a few to garnish.
  • In a small bowl mix soy and chilly sauce, and brown sugar together and add to the pan. Mix well.
  • Add the noodles and using tongs mix well so that they are well coated.
  • Add honey, and cook for 2 minutes.

Your sweet & spicy crack noodles are ready to be devoured.
