Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 500g wet noodles (for two people)

   

2. 2 Put water in the pot and bring to a boil, add noodles, bring to a boil, add a small bowl of cold water, boil again and remove. Pour the noodles into cold water 2-3 times and then stir in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil to prevent them from sticking. Add ice cubes, mix briefly and set aside.

   

3. 3 Cut the cucumber into shreds, shred the carrots, and remove the roots from the bean sprouts. Blanch the carrots and bean sprouts and drain them into cold water. Set aside.

   

4. 4 Make the sauce. Mash the garlic into minced garlic, add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of salt, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of Laoganma, and 2 tablespoons of sesame paste to make a sauce.

   

5. 5 Add the bean sprouts, cucumbers, carrots and sauce to the noodles and mix well.

   

6. 6 Notes: 1. Do not cook the noodles for too long, otherwise the taste will be affected. 2. After the noodles are cooked, be sure to add ice cubes at the end. If there is no ice cubes, it can be passed through ice water. This is the key to keeping it cool and refreshing. 3. Neither sesame paste nor sugar can be omitted. The taste will be much different with or without sesame paste. Sugar can enhance the freshness.
