Cold Spicy Noodles (Leng Mian) image

A Korean dish, popular in northern China. I ate this for lunch every day for an entire year when I lived in Jinzhou, China. The cook was certain that eating this cold dish during the cold northern winter would be bad for my stomach, but it never was! This makes a wonderfully refreshing lunch during the hot summertime.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces spaghetti, or as needed
2 cups very cold ice water
½ cup white vinegar

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm allergic to peanuts. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

This was a great way to use up leftover chicken. The noodles were light and refreshing, and the sauce was flavorful without being too spicy.

Not bad, but not great either. The noodles were a bit bland and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.
