A Simple yet Satisfying Stir-Fry Recipe to Spice Up Your Week
In a quest to take her stir-fried mushroom and tofu dishes to the next level, Rukmini Iyer stumbled upon a game-changing recipe that's now at the top of her repertoire. The star of this recipe is a homemade peanut chilli crisp oil, which adds an unparalleled depth of flavor to the dish. But what really sets this recipe apart is how easy it is to make – and its versatility, too.
The quick and easy recipe starts with some basic ingredients: sesame oil, ginger, garlic, spring onions, shiitake mushrooms, firm tofu, soy sauce, and straight-to-wok udon noodles. To begin, heat a large frying pan or wok over medium heat, add one tablespoon of sesame oil, and stir-fry the ginger, garlic, and spring onions for 30 seconds. Then, add the mushrooms and fry for two minutes more before adding the remaining tablespoon of oil, tofu, soy sauce, and chopped cabbage.
While the noodles are cooking, Rukmini prepares a simple chilli crisp oil by heating neutral oil over low heat, then adding chilli flakes and peanuts to create a sizzling mixture. This oil can be used immediately or stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a week.
To assemble the dish, add the cooked noodles to the cabbage pan and stir-fry for two minutes, seasoning with sea salt as needed. Finally, top with a teaspoon of chilli oil and serve hot. But be warned – this dish packs a punch, so take a taste before adding more.
The best part? This recipe is incredibly quick and easy, requiring just 20 minutes of prep time and 15 minutes of cooking time. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or lunch, and can even be stashed in the fridge for later use – spoon it over eggy crumpets, fried rice, or cheese on toast for a satisfying meal.

plus you can use it in so many other dishes too... i'm definitely gonna try spooning it over some breakfast toast or scrambled eggs 
. But I gotta admit, this peanut chilli crisp oil thing sounds kinda interesting 
. 20 minutes of prep time is pretty short, so maybe it's not as annoying to make as I thought 
. And the fact that you can use it for other meals too is a plus... but let's be real, how many times are we gonna have to try out some new recipe before we're like "meh" 
?

! I love that it's super easy to make and customize with your own fave ingredients. The addition of chilli crisp oil takes it to a whole new level - I'm definitely gonna try making some at home 
!! i mean, who knew peanut chilli crisp oil could make a dish so much better?! the best part is how easy it is to make and you can customize it to your taste. i added some extra veggies like bell peppers and carrots and it was perfect 
. I love that you can customize it with your favorite noodles or even add some eggs

plus its so easy to make, even my little sis can do it (and she cant even boil water lol) 
i added some extra chilli flakes cuz i love spicy food and it totally hit the spot 
now im gonna make this for every meal and see how long it takes me to get tired of it 
! I'd say, ditch the udon noodles and add some rice or quinoa for an extra nutritional boost 
!
. dont get me wrong, i love a good stir-fry as much as the next person, but whats wrong with just orderin from our local thai place or somethin?
