Notes

A home-style, quick, and spicy appetizer dish. The noodles are chewy and coated in the black bean and savory spicy aroma of Lao Gan Ma, while the soy sauce enhances the umami taste. It is simple yet full of flavor. As a main meal, it quickly replenishes carbohydrates and energy, and the capsaicin helps stimulate the appetite. There are no barriers to making this; even beginners can easily handle it, and the whole process from boiling water to serving takes about ten minutes.
