Chile Garlic Oil Noodles #EattheWorld

This Meatless Noodle dish from Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, reminds me of an Asian version of the more familiar,  Pasta Aglio e Olio.

We are visiting Myanmar this month as we Eat the World.....

Each month a group of bloggers, led by Juli of Pandemonium Noshery and Camilla of Culinary Cam virtually travel the world exploring the foods of different cultures.

This month we are traveling to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.  Myanmar is a nation in Southeast Asia, bordered by India, China, Laos, Yangon, and Bangladesh.  Its food and culture are derived from nearly 100 ethnicities who call Myanmar home.

Let's see what recipes everyone made......

• Burmese Tofu with Garlic Ginger Soy Sauce by Sneha's Recipe
• Chile Garlic Oil Noodles by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Garlic Oil Noodles with Chicken by Amy's Cooking Adventures

This is a quick, easy, and tasty dish you can make as spicy or mild as you wish.  I kept mine simple with just onions and red bell peppers but it is the perfect foil for any vegetables you like.  You can also add meat, chicken, or shrimp to these noodles if you are a carnivore.
