We like chilled Chinese-style noodles with lots of vegetables, so the sauce sachets included with the shop-bought noodle packets are too small. We want to use plenty of sauce, so I always make homemade sauce and keep in the fridge. If zhi ma jiang or sesame paste are not available, you don't have to use them! Add more ground sesame seeds instead.

You can use the soup from poaching the chicken (150 ml) to make the sauce instead of the boiling water, water and Chinese chicken stock granules. Add some salt if necessary. If you add the sauce sachets attached to the noodle packets, make just half of the homemade sauce. Add more doubanjiang or ra-yu to taste. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

The chicken is difficult to slice when warm, so chilled it completely, and then slice or shred.

Bring the eggs to room temperature. Boil enough water to completely submerge the eggs. Boil the eggs for 7 minutes for very soft egg yolks, 8 minutes for soft egg yolks and 12 minutes for hard boiled eggs.
6

Julienne the cucumber. Cut the tomato in half and then slice thinly. Slice the boiled eggs.
