Schezwan Noodles

 

Schezwan Noodles

A number of shortcuts were used in this recipe, but the Schezwan sauce was homemade, inspired by a YouTube video. In the video, dried red chilies were soaked in hot water, drained and then combined with a number of other ingredients and fried until the oil floated to the top. This looked like too much work so a substitution was made using red chili oil and Kashmiri mirch or hot paprika powder. 

Coleslaw mix is a huge bonus found in most supermarkets and consist of shredded red and green cabbage and carrots. This left me with little chopping to do and made the process go a lot faster.
