Chef Chen Dailu’s Spicy Sesame Noodles Chen Shifu

This is a recipe taught to me by Chef Chen Dailu of the wonderful Chengdu snack restaurant Long Chao Shou. I was interviewing him for a feature for Saveur magazine and I asked him to tell me about his favourite food. To my surprise, he came up with this scrumptious but blindingly simple vegetarian recipe.

This serves two people.
