    Utensils Used
    | 1. Make the ginger-garlic water. | 2. Fry the Red-Pepper flakes in oil. This creates smoke if done in a frying pan, so cover it up or else do it with less oil in the microwave. Just buy the pre-made pepper flakes in oil at the Chinese supermarket to save a step. | 3. Chinese sesame paste (ji ma jiang) or Middle-Eastern tahini sauce is normally used. Peanut butter may be substituted if you can't find sesame paste. It's not the same, but it'll do. | 4. Pre-ground Szechuan peppercorns *might* be available at the Chinese supermarket. I haven't looked for it because I make it myself. It's called "Hua jiao fen". The peppercorns are called "Hua jiao". | 5. Each person can assemble their own noodles using the below toppings. A mound of shredded cucumbers makes it even more delicious. | 6. 1 serving noodles. | 7. 1-2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Water. | 8. 2 tsp chili flake oil. | 9. 2 tbsp sesame paste. | 10. 1 tbsp scallions. | 11. 1 big pinch roasted Szechuan peppercorn powder. | 12. Add soy sauce, 1/2 tsp black rice vinegar, and sugar to taste. Add one tbsp shredded Szechuan preserved vegetables or a mound of cucumbers. The Szechuan vegetables is the authentic way --. | 13. Bon appetit or "Duo chi". | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
