A Bowl of Hot Soup Noodles
一碗热汤面 · pan chinese cuisine
The author wanted a bowl of noodles late at night without much fuss, so they made this simplified version of yangchun noodles. The whole dish is just chopping scallions, garlic, and cilantro, pouring hot oil over them, and adding soy sauce and vinegar — once the noodles are cooked, it's ready to eat. Start to finish it takes less than ten minutes.
