Ingredients

  • 1 (4 ounce) package sai-fun noodles (mung bean noodles)
  • 2 cups soup stock (veggie or chicken)
  • For the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons hot tap water
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • garlic-red chili paste, to taste
  • Garnish
  • green onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dry roasted peanuts, chopped

Method

  • Soak the noodles for 1 hour and drain.
  • Place in a saucepan with the soup stock and simmer until they are tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the stock from the noodles, reserving it for another use. Place the noodles on a tray and refrigerate them for one hour.
  • Mix the sauce by putting the peanut butter in a 2-cup measuring glass and adding the hot water. Stir with a fork until it is the consistency of whipping cream.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce and mix with the chilled noodles.
  • Place the noodles on a serving dish and garnish with the green onions and peanuts.
