Ingredients

• 8 oz Sweet potato noodles
• 0.25 cup Peanuts
• 0.25 cup Pickled mustard greens
• 3 tbsp Black vinegar
• 2 tbsp Chili oil
• 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 4 cups Chicken stock
• 2 Scallions
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 3 cloves Garlic

Steps

1. Soak the sweet potato noodles in hot water 10 minutes until softened. They turn glassy and pleasantly chewy.
2. Simmer the stock with the pickled greens 10 minutes to build a savory-sour base.
3. Add the noodles and simmer 5 minutes until tender. Stir in the vinegar, soy, and half the chili oil.
4. Divide among bowls and top with crushed peanuts, scallions, cilantro, garlic, and the remaining chili oil.
5. The balance to chase: sour first, then heat, then savory. Adjust with more vinegar or chili oil at the table.
