A one pot noodle dish has to be one of my favourite things to make. I love adding a bit of spice from scotch bonnet chilli, but you can use whatever your favourite chilli is! This is great served with lots of chopped spring onion on top as it brings a welcome freshness to the dish.

Chilli: my favourite chilli to use is scotch bonnet (I love the heat and aromatic flavour it has), but use whatever you like!
Noodles: I usually either use instant ramen noodles or egg noodles, but really you can use any quick cooking noodle!
Cheddar: grated mozzarella would also be delicious!
Light soy and dark soy: both add colour and seasoning to the dish.

Chilli crisp oil: adds additional heat and depth of flavour!
