Chinese Sesame Noodles (麻酱面)

• 份量: 2 servings
• 准备时间: 5 minutes
• 总时间: 10 minutes

配料

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 stalk scallions (finely chopped)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (plus some for garnishing)

1 teaspoon chili flakes (or to taste)

2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil

2 tablespoon Chinese sesame paste (see note 1 for substitutes)

2 tablespoon light soy sauce

1 tablespoon black rice vinegar

¼ teaspoon sugar

2 portion noodles (see note 2 for weight suggestions)

½ large cucumber (cut into matchsticks)

Fresh chili pepper (chopped, to taste)

Cilantro (optional)

步骤

Prepare the seasonings

Put minced garlic, chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes into a small bowl. Heat oil until hot. Pour it over the above ingredients. Mix well.

Add sesame paste to another bowl. Stir with a spoon while adding 2 tablespoons of water in several batches until it becomes a smooth, much thinner consistency. Be patient with this process as it’ll take some time to get the right texture (see note 3 if using substitutes). Add light soy sauce, black rice vinegar, and sugar. Mix until fully integrated.

Cook the noodles

Bring plenty of water to a full boil. Put in noodles. Once it comes back to a boil, turn down the heat a little to avoid boiling over.

Once cooked, transfer the noodles to a colander and rinse under running water to cool them down quickly.

Assemble the dish

Place the noodles in 2 serving bowls. Top them up with cucumber, fresh chili, and cilantro (if using). Pour the spicy dressing and the sesame sauce mixture over.

Give everything a thorough mix to coat each strand of noodle with the sauce. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds to garnish.

备注

Skipped the spicy.

Less vinegar, more sugar!
