## Ingredients

- 100 g Soba noodles (荞麦面) — per serving
  - Tip: Look for whole-wheat noodles with a higher buckwheat content.
- 0.5 stalks Cucumber (黄瓜) — per serving
  - Tip: Pick ones with a bright green skin and small spines for a fresher, crunchier bite.
- 0.5 stalks Carrot (红萝卜) — per serving
  - Tip: Choose ones that are brightly colored and smooth on the surface.
- 20 ml Lao Gan Ma chili sauce (老干妈) — per serving
  - Tip: Fermented black bean chili oil is the most classic choice.

## Tools

Saucepan, Cleaver / chef's knife, Cutting board, Slotted spoon, Noodle mixing plate

## Method (3 steps)

1. **Cook the Noodles** — Boil the buckwheat noodles in cold water until cooked, about 8–10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
   - Duration: 10 min
   - Tip: You can start with either cold or boiling water; just watch the doneness of the noodles.
   - Tip: Rinse the drained noodles under cold water for a chewier texture.

2. **Prep the Vegetables** — Wash the cucumber and carrot, then cut them into even small strips.
   - Duration: 5 min
   - Tip: If you're skilled with a knife, julienne them into fine strips so they hold the sauce better.

3. **Season and Toss** — Place the buckwheat noodles, cucumber strips, and carrot strips in a bowl, add Lao Gan Ma sauce, and toss to combine.
   - Duration: 2 min
   - Tip: Tip: toss from the bottom of the bowl upward for even coating.

## Tips

- After draining, chill the buckwheat noodles in the refrigerator for a better texture.
- Feel free to swap in other toppings you like, such as shrimp or ground meat.
- You can also choose a different sauce, such as peanut butter or sesame paste.
- Buckwheat noodles have nearly the same calorie count as other noodles, so they're not ideal as a staple for fat loss.
