Calculations:
Per serving:

* Soy Sauce : Vinegar : Oil Pour Chili Paste = 3 : 2 : 2 (The specific amount of sauce depends on the amount of fern root noodles; this ratio is only to ensure the flavor direction is correct)
* If the sauce feels slightly light, you can add 2 to 5 grams of salt
* If you want the sauce to be more savory, you can add 2 grams of sugar

* Scallion, ginger, and garlic are extra seasonings; adding them enhances the flavor, but it is okay not to add them
* The amount of sugar and salt varies according to personal taste, please add accordingly
* It is recommended to use a bowl as the final serving dish because using a plate makes eating the noodles somewhat difficult
* The overall flavor is spicy; if you cannot eat spicy food, please reduce the amount of oil pour chili paste and do not add minced chili
