Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the delicious chewy noodles sauce. Measure all ingredients by filling a tablespoon generously. You can adjust the sweetness, spiciness, and tanginess to your personal preference, so taste and add more as needed! Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Let it sit for a while to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2
Next, we’ll prepare the bean sprouts for a crunchy texture in the chewy noodles. Bring water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and then add the bean sprouts. Once the water returns to a boil, cook for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Immediately rinse them under cold water and drain well. This will make the bean sprouts extra crisp.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables and eggs for the chewy noodles. Wash and thinly julienne the cucumber, cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper. You can boil and make an egg omelet, then slice it, or simply use boiled eggs as they are. Raw vegetables are great, but you can also add other vegetables, quail eggs, or even whelk for an even more delicious dish!
Step 4
The chewy noodle strands might be clumped together, so gently separate them one by one with your hands. If they’re still sticking, lightly sprinkle some water on the noodles and rub them together; this will make them much easier to separate.
Step 5
Now it’s time to cook the chewy noodles. In a pot of generously boiling water, add the noodle strands. For 1-2 servings, cook for about 4 minutes. For 3 or more servings, cook for about 4 minutes and 30 seconds. While cooking, stir occasionally with chopsticks to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
Step 6
Once the noodles are cooked, immediately drain them in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. It’s crucial to rub the noodles as you rinse until the slippery texture is completely gone. This ensures the noodles are chewy and have a clean taste. After rinsing, make sure to drain out all excess water.
Step 7
Place the well-drained chewy noodles into a serving bowl. Generously spoon the delicious sauce you made over the noodles. Finally, arrange the prepared vegetables and boiled egg attractively on top. Your beautiful bowl of chewy noodles is now complete!
Step 8
Looking at the finished chewy noodles will surely make your mouth water! The combination of refreshing, crunchy vegetables and chewy noodles is simply delightful. The bouncy texture of the perfectly cooked noodles, paired with the crisp vegetables, creates a truly fantastic eating experience.
Step 9
The sauce, especially when infused with cider, boasts a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. This delectable sauce mingling with the noodles creates a magical effect, making you devour the entire bowl in no time! Seriously, is there any other chewy noodle dish this delicious in the world?
Step 10
Chewy noodles are not just a satisfying meal; they also make a fantastic spicy appetizer when paired with whelk, or a light and easy late-night snack. Whether for dinner or a weekend treat, make these delicious chewy noodles and enjoy them with everyone! Enjoy your meal 😀
