This is yet another noodles from the Sichuan region. This is a soupy noodle with the numbing effect. My recipe is a vegan recipe and doesn't use lard. The red oil gives a strong punch to this noodles. This is quite popular one to have for breakfast or for dinner.
This is a simple and extremely spicy noodles. The difference between this and Dan Dan noodles is that this is a soupy version. Plain noodles seasoned with vinegar, red oil, fresh ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and green onions - that's all you need. Sometimes meat can be added as topping which is omitted.
