Meal-Prep? Yes.

You can make these noodles on a weekend and enjoy them for lunch all week long. Chili garlic noodles for the win!
I Want to Make This! What Equipment Do I Need?
You’ll need a few basic items to create this recipe. First, you’ll want a large pasta pot to cook the noodles in and a fry pan for cooking the mushrooms. Next, you’ll want a baking sheet to cook the chickpeas on and a can opener to open your cans of chickpeas. You will also need a strainer to strain the noodles. Lastly, this one is optional, silicone baking liners to use on your baking sheet so the chickpeas don’t stick. This is optional because you can always use parchment paper or grease the pan, but baking liners are more environmentally friendly! If you’re interested, these are similar to the ones that I have (I don’t know where mine are from – they were a gift).
