Oil-sprinkled noodles

This noodle dish originates from the north of China. Create a flavoursome base for the noodles from a mixture of soy sauces, black vinegar, chilli powder, garlic and spring onion, then pour hot oil over the aromatics to release their flavour and fragrance. Add some fresh pak choy for a refreshing element and toss the noodles with fresh coriander to serve.
