Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Chinese noodles (not canned)
3 1/2 tablespoons Dark brown sesame oil
3 1/2 tablespoons Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (or to -- taste)
1 teaspoon Hot chili oil (or to taste)
6 Green onions -- sliced finely
on the bias -- divided
Black sesame seeds -- optional
Fresh cilantro -- oprional
1/4 cup BBQ pork -- optional

Bring a generous amount of unsalted water to a boil.
Add the noodles (all at once) for approximately 2 minutes, or until al dente (t
oothy but firm). Use chopsticks or two wooden spoons to separate noodles as the
y cook. Do not overcook.

Empty noodles into a large colander, then immediately flush with cold running
water until cool. Shake off excess water and drain for 15 to 30 minutes.

Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and chili oil; mix well. Pour ov
er noodles and use your hands to evenly distribute seasoned sauce. Work careful
ly so noodles don[t break. Gently spread sauce over each strand and allow the
noodles to fully absorb sauce before eating.

Add all onions except 2 tablespoons. Toss and mix to evenly distribute the on
ions. Garnish with remaining onions, sesame seeds and cilantro, if desired.

Noodles taste best if they are allowed to sit and the flavors meld for a few h
ours before serving.

Serve refrigerated and cold, or at room temperature.
