INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium skillet, combine the sesame oil, garlic, shallots, and bay leaf. Cook over medium heat until the garlic turns golden and is crisping, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the sesame seeds and ginger, cook 1 minute.
Pour the oil into a large bowl. Add the chili flakes, paprika, cayenne, and season with salt. I use all the oil for the noodles, but if desired, reserve half for serving.
Cook the noodles according to package directions. During the last 3 minutes, add the bell peppers to the water. Save 1/4 cup water, then drain. Toss the hot noodles, tamari/soy sauce, and all of the herbs with the chili oil, add water to thin to reach desired consistency.
Serve the noodles with additional chili oil and green onions.
