sweet bean paste noodles
a jar of sauce rules all
This was inspired by Dan Dan noodles but it seems to have diverged quite a bit. The result is a spicy, sweet, saucy noodle. This is not really a whole dish, but just a combination of sauces you can add to your noodles. Cucumber adds freshness.
# ingredients
- Sweet soybean paste, 2 tablespoons per serving
- Dark soy sauce
- Sichuan peppercorns, 1 heaped teaspoon per serving

# instructions

# notes
- To make the noodles more fragrant, you can use the hot oil method as in the biang biang noodles recipe, and then add these sauces.
