Lucas Sin—chef of Junzi Kitchen and Nice Day Chinese Takeout—is taking Chilled Sesame Noodles, a Chinese takeout staple, to the next level! Lucas’s version is the real deal, thanks to a deeply flavorful, carefully layered sesame sauce made of pure sesame paste, Chinese black vinegar, Sichuan peppercorn oil, and fermented tofu. Finish off the dish with a little chile oil and it’s a classic—but not like one you’ve had before! Plus, Lucas shows us the secret to properly chill your noodles. Here’s a hint: don’t let all that delicious flavor go down the drain! (recipe below)

Chilled Sesame Noodles

Ingredients
1 tablespoon neutralflavored oil
12 ounces thin flour “yangchun noodles”, Chinese egg noodles, or other thin egg noodle
1/2 cup Chinese sesame paste
1 block furu (fermented tofu), from 13ounce jar
4 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup light soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorn oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, preferably Kewpie
1/4 cup water (about)
Sliced scallions, for serving
Chile oil, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, coarsely ground using a mortar and pestle, for serving

1. In a small skillet, heat the oil just until it begins to shimmer. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool. Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and toss with the oil in the medium bowl or on a small rimmed baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cold.

2. In a small bowl, whisk the sesame paste and furu until smooth. Add the sesame oil, light soy sauce, sugar, black vinegar, dark soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorn oil, and salt and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the mayonnaise and then whisk in enough of the water until a thin creamy, silky sauce forms.

3. Divide the noodles among bowls; drizzle the sesame sauce on top. Garnish with the scallions, chile oil, and sesame seeds.
