Why you need to make these 5 Minute Chilli Oil Noodles

1. They are ready in 5 minutes: who doesn't love a 5 minute recipe?
2. You can adjust the spice: these are obviously going to be pretty spicy! But you can bring the heat level right down and only use as much chilli oil as you are comfortable with. This is a safe space and we won't judge you if you can't handle the spice
3. You hardly need any dishes: Who can be bothered with dishes? not meee. You just need to cook the noodles in a pot then mix with the sauce in a bowl and serve. Easy peasy!
