05/03/2025 - Noodle Recipe

haven't written a blog post in a while (i have one in the works about the trip to london i just went on, but i have writers block on it), so here's some good fucking noodles i've been making recently

ingredients:

1. noodle (i specifically get the toyoung brand of shanghai noodles, they're great and come pre-portioned so i just use one of those)
2. 1 big teaspoon peanut butter (crunchy, smooth is for pussies)
3. a reasonable amount of dark soy sauce (i tried light but dark works better, expect the noodles to get coloured pretty heavily)
4. 1 big teaspoon lao gan ma chicken
5. 1 reasonably large dash of sesame oil
6. a handful of fried shallots/onions

boil the noodles, drain off most of the water, take the pot off the heat and dump all the seasonings in there, then put it back on the heat to mix everything together, then serve

if you've got eggs i'd recommend throwing a fried egg or two on top using the same pan afterwards as well. if you can get a good bit of yolk mixed in with the sauce on the noodles it works really well

wouldn't recommend with oily pairings (think tinned fish, specifically fried dace with salted black bean since i've been super partial to that recently) particularly, it might taste pretty good but there's already a fair bit of oil in this sauce so it ends up being too much paired with something else that's oily

i imagine this would probably go pretty well with some stir fried mince pork or possibly beef though. worth trying at some point maybe
