This is one of my popular posts on instagram and I know you all love it! SAVE this mouthwatering cold noodle recipe to chill out this summer.
INGREDIENTS
-1 pack Asian noodles of your choice
-Cucumber strips (optional)
-Sesame seeds to garnish
FOR THE SAUCE
-1 tbsp Gochugaru (Korean red pepper
powder)
-1 tbsp sesame seeds
-1 tbsp chopped spring onion
-1 tbsp chopped garlic
-2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
-2-3 tbsp soy sauce
-1 tbsp white vinegar
-2 tbsp peanut sesame paste
-2 tbsp water
Feel free to adjust the ratio for your
liking.
In this recipe, I used Taiwanese peanut
sesame paste (花生麻醬). You can easily find other similar peanut sesame paste options in
most Oriental supermarkets. Alternatively, regular peanut butter can be used as
a substitute. Not recommend using Tahani as I feel its flavour is quite
different.
METHOD
1. In a heatproof bowl, combine Gochugaru,
sesame seeds, spring onion, and garlic.
2. Heat 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
over medium high heat until it shimmers, then pour the hot oil over the spice
mixture.
3. Add soy sauce and white vinegar
to the spice mixture, stirring well until thoroughly combined.
4. In a separate bowl, mix peanut
sesame paste with water until smooth. Adjust the water amount to achieve the
desired sauce consistency.
5. Combine peanut sesame sauce with
spice mixture sauce together.
6. Cook noodles until al dente, then
rinse them in ice-cold water to halt the cooking process. Drain the noodles and
place them in a noodle bowl.
7. Pour the sauce over the
noodles. Top the dish with cucumber and sprinkle additional sesame seeds before
serving. Enjoy!
You can also pour this mouthwatering sauce over steamed vegetable like this. It's an ultimate sauce!
