Ingredients
-
1/2 cup Szechaun red chili flakes (see Tip)
-
1/4 cup sliced scallions, white and green parts separated
-
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
-
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 cup peanut oil
-
6 clove garlic, thinly sliced, plus 2 cloves minced, divided
-
2 small shallots, thinly sliced
-
2 bay leaves
-
2 whole star anise
-
1 tablespoon Szechaun peppercorns
-
1 cinnamon stick
-
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
-
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
-
1 tablespoon sesame oil
-
1 (8-ounce) package wide rice noodles, cooked and cooled
-
2 large carrots, peeled and spiralized (5 ounces)
-
2 small zucchini, spiralized (8 ounces)
-
2 medium Persian cucumbers, julienned
-
1/2 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts
-
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions
-
Combine chili flakes, scallion whites, sesame seeds, ginger and salt in a large heatproof bowl.
-
Combine peanut oil, garlic, shallots, bay leaves, star anise, peppercorns and cinnamon stick in a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat until the garlic turns golden and is crisping, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the solids from the hot oil with a slotted spoon or strainer. Set aside the fried shallots and garlic; discard the other solids. Pour the hot oil over the chili flake mixture; stir carefully with chopsticks (it will bubble and pop). After the oil stops bubbling, about 1 minute, add rice wine, oyster sauce and sesame oil.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
