Ingredients

For the sauce:

1/4 cup chili oil (or to taste; preferably homemade)
2 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
2 cloves garlic (smashed and finely minced)

For the rest of the dish:

200 g fresh liangpi noodles (about 8 ounces; can substitute 100g dried wide rice noodles or mung bean noodles)
1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
100 g wheat gluten (can substitute tofu puffs if you're avoiding gluten)
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1 small cucumber (julienned)

Instructions

Combine all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Cook the noodles according to package instructions and add to a large mixing bowl.
Steam or blanch the beansprouts and wheat gluten. If steaming, steam for about 5 minutes over high heat. If blanching, you can do so for about 30 seconds. Add them to the bowl with the noodles, along with the cilantro and cucumber.
Pour the sauce into the mixing bowl and toss everything together. Taste once again, and adjust seasonings. Feel free to add more vinegar, soy sauce, salt, chili oil, or sugar to your liking. Serve!

Notes

For the best results with this recipe, we highly recommend using homemade chili oil.
