Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil a large pot of water over high heat. Add the noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender yet al dente.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peanut sauce with dark soy sauce and hot noodle cooking water. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  3. Drain noodles in a colander and do not rinse. Transfer to the pot and pour the peanut sauce over the noodles. Toss gently to coat.
  4. Add more hot noodle cooking water if a looser sauce is preferred, and taste for richness. Adjust with more chili oil if desired.
  5. Plate the noodles, drizzle with chili oil, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately.
