SICHUAN STYLE COLD NOODLES

These cold noodles are inspired by bold Chinese Sichuan flavours – savoury, spicy, and aromatic with acidity from Chinese black vinegar. I love noodles whether in be in the form of noodle soups, stir-fries, and of course cold noodles.

These are perfect for those warmer days when you want something hearty and comforting but refreshing at the same time.

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

For the Dressing

• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp black vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp chili oil or chilli sauce see homemade chili oil recipe here
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp ground Sichuan pepper
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/4 cup warm water
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 tsp five spice powder

Noodles

• 227 g fresh noodles of choice, 2 servings (I used wheat noodles)
• Sesame oil

Toppings/Mix-Ins

• Rehydrated black fungus or wood ear mushroom thinly sliced

HOW TO MAKE THESE SICHUAN STYLE COLD NOODLES

• For the dressing, mix everything together in a bowl. Feel free to adjust to your taste. Set aside.

• Cook the noodles until still very chewy. Drain the noodles from the water. Run the noodles through cold running water. Set aside on a strainer to drain any excess water.
• You can drizzle some oil over the noodles and then mix well to coat the noodles. This is to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

• In a large bowl, add the cooled noodles.
• Add your toppings and mix-ins of choice. Pour over the dressing.

• Mix well and enjoy.
