Glass noodle dressing
Description
Perfectly complements meat, poultry, and side dishes. Below I'll explain in detail how to prepare the sauce for glass noodles. Instead of rice vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil can be substituted with another vegetable oil, such as peanut oil. Sugar is optional and can be replaced with sweet syrup or honey, or omitted entirely. This sauce can be used to dress both cold and hot noodles. The resulting sauce is aromatic, spicy, and very rich in flavor. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
