Spicy Mala Knife-Cut Noodles
🌶️🌶️🌶️ The tingle you'll keep coming back for
Great Taste 2025 winner · Source of protein · Vegan · Ready in 3 minutes
Mala is all about the buzz. Sichuan pepper makes your lips tingle and hum, then fermented chilli and warm spices like star anise and cinnamon bring depth and a proper kick. It's less about burning heat and more about a feeling you'll want again tomorrow.
What is mala? Two words from Sichuan cooking: má is the tingly, numbing buzz of Sichuan pepper, là is the warmth of chilli. Together they make a sensation, not just a spice level. Mildly addictive. You've been warned.
Heat level: 🌶🌶🌶 Medium-hot, with a big numbing tingle. Want it softer? A spoon of yoghurt, a fried egg or a splash of black vinegar rounds it off.
