Equipment
Ingredients
1 ½ cup rice noodles cooked
3 cup water hot
4 spring onions
Soup Base
6 tsp sichuan chili-bean sauce Doubanjiang
6 tsp Tahini
1 ½ tsp vegetable bouillon
1 ½ tsp Chinese rice wine
1 ½ tsp brown sugar packed
¾ tsp black vinegar or smoked vinegar
3 cup napa cabbage
9 oz. tofu extra-firm, ½-inch cubes
¾ tsp Sichuan pepper ground
1 ½ tsp sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- This job becomes much easier if everything is prepared in advance. Add all ingredients, 4 spring onions, 6 tsp sichuan chili-bean sauce, 6 tsp tahini, 1 1/2 tsp vegetable bouillon, 1 1/2 tsp Chinese rice wine, 1 1/2 tsp light brown sugar, 3/4 tsp black vinegar, 3 cups napa cabbage, 9 ounces tofu, 3/4 tsp Sichuan pepper, 1 1/2 tsp sesame seeds apart from the noodles and 3 cups of hot water, to a large airtight container. Cover and seal with a lid and place the container into the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days.
- When you are satisfied it is ready, it is time to eat! Cook your 1 1/2 cups rice noodles (following pack guidelines). Once cooked rinse the noodles in fresh water and allow to drain fully while you prepare the soup.
- Add the 3 cups water to a saucepan over a medium heat. Remove your base mix of ingredients and shake or stir, then add them to the water in the saucepan. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes and add the noodles and cook for 60 seconds. Stir the mixture well, and ladle into soup bowls. Let this stand for a few minutes and garnish with fresh sliced spring onions before eating.
Notes
An Alternative Method:
Use the same ingredients and preparation steps. Instead of 1 large container divide all ingredients into 4 airtight containers, cover and store in refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. When ready to eat, take one container out of the fridge, add 1/4 of the noodles and a cup of water. Stir and cover. Place in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes (or heat in a small saucepan) A healthy and tasty equivalent to instant noodles! Great for students!
