The noodle strings are wide and flat like belts, and they are served in a spicy, aromatic dipping sauce. In this video, I will also discuss the local culinary culture so you can really experience the diversity of Chinese cuisine. Ingredients (serves 3 people) For the noodles 128g / 4.5 oz of cilantro 1 Tbsp of oil to blanch the cilantro 300g / 10.6 oz bread flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbsps of cornstarch to prevent sticking 1 Tbsp of oil to cook the noodles For the dipping sauce 1/2 tsp of salt for the dipping sauce 1/3 tsp thirteen-spice powder (Purchase Link - https://curatedkitchenware.com/products/thirteen-spice-powder) 1/3 tsp of Sichuan peppercorn powder (Purchase Link - https://geni.us/sichuan-peppercorns) 2 Tbsps of minced garlic 3 Tbsps diced scallion 1.5 tbsp of red chili flakes (Purchase Link - https://geni.us/red-chili-flake-mild https://geni.us/red-chili-flake-spicy) 1 tbsp of roasted sesame seeds (Purchase Link - https://geni.us/white-sesame-seeds-w) 3 Tbsps of cooking oil 3 Tbsps of soy sauce (Purchase Link - https://geni.us/light-soy-sauce) 1 tbsps of Chinese black vinegar (Purchase Link - https://geni.us/chinese-black-vinegar) 3/4 cups of the noodle-cooking water a handful of green leafy vegetables, optional Replacement Tips If you genetically hate cilantro, don’t worry. Use the same amount of baby spinach because bocai zhanshuimian (菠菜蘸水面) is also popular in China. The thirteen-spice powder can be replaced by five-spice powder. Please use the red chili flake that fits your spicy tolerance. What I used was mild. If you don’t eat spicy food at all, try sweet paprika.
