Instructions

1. Cold Noodles:PeasMix flour with water to form a paste (the ratio of water to flour should be determined based on the type of flour purchased; a common ratio mentioned online is 1:6, but I tried it and it was too thin, possibly due to the variety), make sure to mix well and avoid clumps.Add the flour paste to the pot and cook while stirring, use high heat for a short time and then switch to low heat to prevent burning.Some online sources suggest adding a little salt to help with clumping, which I think is a good idea.Cook the pea noodles until they become thick and slightly translucent (approximately 20 minutes of cooking time, stirring continuously during this process), then pour them into a large container and let them cool.The cooled pea noodles can then be cut into strips.

2. White Bun: The recipe is available online, so I won't go into detail.OvenFor those of us like me, you can also bake it in a pan, but you need to flip it frequently to prevent burning.

3. Broth: Boil a pot of water, then add some five-spice powder (ideally, use broth made with five-spice powder, without the sediment, to avoid the broth having a sediment taste).Beat 1-2Eggsand pour them into the soup to create egg foam, and finally add cornstarch slurry to thicken.

4. Seasonings: If you don't have garlic sauce, you can make your own garlic sauce. My experience is to chop the garlic finely and lightly mash it, then add a small amount of hot water, and the flavor will be quite strong.Sesame paste, commonly sold in supermarkets, needs to be diluted slightly to achieve a flowing effect. The method is to add a little hot water and stir with chopsticks. To enhance the aroma, add a few drops of sesame oil.You also need to prepare vinegar and chili oil.

5. The final step: Cut the bun into pieces, first pour a small amount of broth, then spread the cold noodles, and finally pour another layer of broth, add vinegar, sesame paste, garlic sauce, salt, and chili oil.You can eat it now!
