Easy Taiwanese Cold Noodles with Peanut Sauce (Liang Mian / 涼麵)

200 gr dried wheat noodles (or noodle of your choice)

peanut butter

Tbsp sesame oil

Tbsp chili oil (optional)

tsp sugar

soy sauce

Chinese black vinegar

water (room temperature)

Persian cucumber

White sesame seeds (toasted)

Fried garlic bits

Cook the noodles according to the instruction on the package. Make sure you don&#039;t overcook the noodles. It should be &quot;al dente&quot; (firm to bite)

Rinse the cooked noodles under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Cover with a cling wrap and refrigerate in the fridge to chill the noodles if you want

Cook the noodles:

Halve the cucumber lengthwise and then use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Halve the cucumber again horizontally then cut into strips

Prepare the cucumber:

Mix all ingredients for dressing in a mixing bowl. Whisk to combine everything. The amount of ingredients for dressing is just a reference. Feel free to add more or reduce some according to your preference. The sauce should be savory, tangy, a hint of spicyness (if you use chili oil) and sweetness

Prepare the dressing:

I toss the cooked noodles with the dressing directly and then top with cucumber, toasted sesame seeds and garlic bits. OR you can portion the noodles and cucumber into an individual serving bowl. Spoon some sauce on the side of the bowl. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and garlic bits. Everyone can mix their own dressing with the noodles

To serve:

The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to one week. All you need to do is to cook some noodles and add some veggies when you want some liang mian

My mom used to make this dish for me as a kid and after moving out of the house I was craving it but never got the recipe down. This recipe is perfect and the right amount for just 1-2 servings. However, I threw the ingredients into a blender instead and added ginger, garlic, and 2 tsp of white vinegar. It’s delicious and so easy to make. I love it! It’s been dinner for the last 3 nights. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this!  My parents made this meal during the summers when I was growing up. This recipe is almost spot on to how they would prepare it. I used buckwheat noodles and was so happy with the results, I immediately shared with my brother. Thank you!

I love love love this recipe. It’s so simple and delicious! I added half boiled egg (just a tad runny in the middle) and some shredded vegetable to go with it. Even my 20 month old was asking for it again! Thanks!!
