Ingredients
- 100 g wide wheat flour noodles
Sesame sauce:
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ½-1 teaspoon black vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame paste
Hot chili garlic oil:
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoon sliced green onions
- ½ teaspoon chili powder or gochugaru - Korean red chili powder, or to your taste
- ½ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan peppercorn
- 2 tablespoon peanut oil or high smoke-point vegetable oil
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water up to a boil.
- Cook noodles according to package directions, about 3-4 minutes, depending on how thick the noodles are.
- Drain noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water.
- In a serving bowl, add in soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar and sesame paste. Stir well.
- Place the cooked noodles into the bowl.
- Top the noodles with minced garlic, green onions, chili powder, red chili pepper flakes, and ground Sichuan peppercorn.
- In a small saucepan, heat up peanut oil until it reaches 225°F/107°C.
- Tip: a quick way to check if the oil is hot enough is to stick a wooden chopstick into the oil and if there are tiny bubbles that surround it, it's hot enough.
- Remove the oil from the heat and carefully pour the hot oil over the aromatics -- concentrating on the garlic, green onions and chili.
- Use a pair of tongs to coat the noodles thoroughly with the sauce on the bottom of the bowl, and garnish with chopped cilantro and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately.
