I’m confused. I’ve made this recipe for many years since seeing it on the Chengdu, China episode of Bizarre Foods. Some, well actually many of your steps are incorrect, incomplete, and confusing for even me and I can make this in my sleep. What really disturbs me is the spelling and grammar. It’s hard enough trying to read on such a small screen, but when I printed the recipe out, I spent more time trying to figure out what you were trying to say, rather than correcting the “recipe”. Thanks for the recipe, maybe proofread before posting otherwise it loses its merit to a real chef.

In reply to 培同学. I had the same confusion, but I think the author meant a 1:9 ratio by WEIGHT. 120g starch : 1080g water (4.5 cups, water is 240g per cup) is a 1:9 ratio. You are correct that the ratio by volume is different.

In reply to Elaine. Hi. I came here searching for the ratio of starch to water. You mentioned that your favorite ratio is 1:9, but the recipe that follows is 4.5 water to 1 starch, which is actually 2:9.

Thank you Elaine, the noodles turned out great! I always get these at our local Sichuan restaurant. The serve a similar sauce, but they add some kind of dark crumbly salty stuff that I really like. Any idea what it might be? When I asked they winked and said that’s why you come to the restaurant!

Absolutely delicious! Thank you Elaine!! I first made this to satisfy special request of my Chinese husband who wanted a this dish as a taste of home. I now make this several times per week! We like the sauce on cold noodle dishes, too. Easy, quick, and VERY tasty!

In reply to Darren.

I made 2 batches using different ratios I’ve seen in different recipes.
1st batch = 1 cup starch + 4.5 cup water
2nd batch = 0.5 cup starch + 3.5 cup water
Surprisingly, both batches turned out just fine. The firmness is different, but both held their form and tasted great.
