Cold Sichuan Noodles

Make these Cold Sichuan Noodles with sesame sauce and enjoy a restaurant-quality dish right at home. Quick-cooking udon noodles tossed in a spicy Sichuan sesame sauce with thinly sliced purple cabbage and green onions make for a perfect weeknight dinner or midday lunch. The recipe is incredibly easy to prepare, with simple ingredients, and is ready in less than 20 minutes.

The secret to making this dish so delicious is the addition of Sichuan pepper. It’s mouth-numbing, tongue-tingling, and very fragrant. Not only does this pepper lend aromatic flavor to the sauce, but it also adds spiciness and richness. To toast the Sichuan pepper, add it to a dry pan over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan, for about one minute until the spice smells fragrant. Then grind the pepper in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Next, cook the noodles and prepare the sesame sauce. Adjust the amount of pepper to fit your taste. Once the noodles are finished, drain them and rinse with cold water. Toss the noodles with the sauce. Top with thinly sliced purple cabbage and chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!
