Sichuan-Style Cold Noodles
Bold Chinese Sichuan flavors like savory, spicy, fragrant, and acidic Chinese black vinegar inspired these cold noodles. Noodles in any form, including soups, stir-fries, and even cold salads, are some of my favorite foods.
These are ideal for when you’re craving something meaty and comforting yet also light and refreshing.
