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 it.
Eating Sichuan food is really the best gastronomic experience ever. Imagine that fiery hot taste and having tingly lips when you eat it.

This recipe was exactly what I thought it would be. Fantastic. Just what I was looking for. My wife took one bite and said, “WOW, you need to make this a lot!” (I love it when she says that)!
The garlic cloves I used were pretty large…I’d use fewer in the future or smaller ones. The garlic was delicious, we like garlic, but it could have been a bit tamer. I also kick up the the scallions to two. Just personal preference.

Would these also be known as Oil Noodles? We used to get them in a dumpling restaurant here but they changed hands and don’t serve them anymore. I have been searching for something comparable and these hit the mark. I add vegetables and meat at times for a full meal. These are FABULOUS. So very delicious. Love the Chili hit. But not just a hit hit, so very flavourful . They have become a standard meal in our house. Thank you so very much for this recipe.
