Sichuan Sweet Water Noodles
Sweet water noodles! A (perhaps underrated?) Sichuan noodle dish, this classic features some... really thick noodles.
NOODLES, INGREDIENT LIST
* High gluten flour (preferably a Chinese noodle flour or an Italian 00) 200g
* Salt, 4g (~¾ tsp)
* Water, 100g
* Oil, 1 tbsp (not in the dough – this is to coat after boiling)
'SWEET WATER', INGREDIENT LIST
* Soy sauce (生抽), 100g (~100mL)
* Slab sugar (片糖) -or- jaggery -or- dark brown sugar, 25g
* Spices:
star anise (八角), 1 pcs;
sand ginger (沙姜), 2 pcs;
cinnamon (桂皮), ½ stick;
Tsaoko a.k.a. Chinese black cardamom (草果), 1 pcs.
Note that Sand ginger is annoyingly sometimes labelled ‘dried ginger’ in English on some packages – use the characters to confirm. If you cannot find it, substitute with dried ginger or dried galangal. If you cannot find Tsaoko, you can substitute it with Indian black cardamom.
