The Best Sichuan Cold Noodles
One of my favorite noodles in Sichuan cuisine is Dan Dan Noodles. But sometimes, I just love the plain Sichuan Cold Spicy Noodles.
Sichuan food is famous for its spicy and numbing flavors and I am addicted to dishes such as Szechuan beef, Sichuan red oil wontons and bang bang chicken.
Eating Sichuan food is really the best gastronomic experience ever. Imagine that fiery hot taste and having tingly lips when you eat it.

How To Make Sichuan Cold Noodles
Step 1. Bring a pot of water to boil. Cook the noodles per the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water and set aside.
Step 2. Prepare the chili oil by heating up a small pot on high heat. Add the oil and heat up the oil until it becomes very hot. Turn off the heat and add the red chili flakes and Sichuan peppercorns into the oil. Cover the pot with its lid immediately as the oil will splatter. Wait for 5 minutes before removing the lid. Filter the chili oil using a strainer. Discard the residue and just use the oil. Prepare the Sauce by combining the Chili Oil and all the ingredients in the Sauce together. Whisk it to mix well.

These noodles were awesome. The best thing was I had all the ingredients in my pantry. Served them Air Fryer Cornish Hens with a rub and sweet chili sauce. Perfect combination.
