Method

  1. 1 Mix the sesame sauce with the hot noodle broth, spoonful by spoonful, until the sauce flows smoothly.
  2. 2 Pure sesame sauce is very thick and will clump if mixed with cold water; hot water must be used.
  3. 3 Pour 190-degree oil over crushed dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns to make chili oil.
  4. 4 Mix the sesame sauce with black vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and chili oil in a bowl.
  5. 5 Boil the fresh noodles for 3 minutes, then transfer them to the sauce bowl while they are still hot, without rinsing.
  6. 6 The hot noodles help to thin out the sesame sauce and coat them evenly; sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts and chopped scallions, then mix immediately.
