Ingredients
  

Aromatics Mixture

  • 1 scallion (finely chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp crushed peanuts
  • 1 tbsp Chinese chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp heated neutral oil

Sauce Mixture

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (for vegetarians, use vegetarian version)
  • ½ tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp chicken powder (can sub with salt for vegetarian)

Assembling

  • 2 servings noodles of choice (I like using Miki Noodles)
  • Cucumber (julienned)
  • Cilantro (finely chopped)
  • Sauce from above

Instructions
 

Aromatics Mixture

  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients from the Aromatics Mixture except for the heated oil.
  • Then heat up the oil and pour it into the aromatics mixture bowl. It should create a sizzle sound.

Assembling + Adding the Sauce

  • In the same bowl from above, add all the sauce ingredients and mix everything together. It should create a vibrant orangey red sauce.
  • Cook your noodle of choice. For Miki Noodles, I recommend dunking into iced water after cooking for a more chewy texture. Drain afterwards.
  • Prepare each noodle serving in individual bowls.
  • Add the cucumber, cilantro, and the sauce to each bowl.
  • Mix everything like crazy. Serve and enjoy!
