But what is Lao Gan Ma I hear you asking? Or, what does it mean?
While we haven’t used it in this recipe you could add a dash if you wanted to add more zing! But you probably won’t need it because this is the homemade version.
And be warned! These noodles are highly addictive. What’s more,, we’re in love, love, love!
