Sichuan (Szechuan) Cold Noodle image

Sichuan (Szechuan) cold noodle is one of the most famous Sichuan street foods. What I mean by street food is that you can get it almost anywhere in Sichuan--even a small food stand on the side of the street. It is actually simple to make, and the ingredients are easy to find. It is definitely a quick, easy meal, though you might want to watch out for the garlic. This noodle dish is better served right away. It does not taste as good if you leave it overnight and take it for lunch.

This dish is a great way to cool down on a hot summer day. The noodles are refreshing and light, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. I also love the addition of the cucumber and cilantro, which add a nice crunch and freshness.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was just the right amount of heat for me. The sauce had a nice depth of flavor and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again, but I might use a different type of noodle nex

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I usually add some extra vegetables to make it a complete meal. The sauce is also great for dipping other things, like spring rolls or dumplings.
