I love this dish on its own as a quick and easy meal. But you can definitely go all out, almost like you'd add fun items to ramen. Braised pork is the perfect meat if you want to add protein, or try some soft-boiled or fried eggs. The addition of that silky yolk really coats the noodles! Try serving chili garlic noodles alongside of Honey Garlic Pork Chops or make it a stir fry by adding bok choy, snow peas, bell peppers and brown sugar.
