In reply to Sonja. It was popular in the earliy 90s in China, so I ate it often when I was in middle school. It burned my mouth so bad (because they make it even spicier in China), but we still ate it all the time :P So happy to hear you like this one and thanks for leaving a positive review!

OMG! This came out so amazing. I CANNOT even! No regrets. Only change I made was using beef because I grabbed the wrong protein for the freezer – still super tasty! Everything else was followed to the T.

Hi! I would love to try out this recipe, I’ve been craving for suan la fen these days. Could you please let me know if the amount of peppercorns added is 1/8 teaspoons, or 1/8 tablespoons? Thank you!

This is an awesome recipe which resulted in a delicious soup. I was able to find the noodles pictured, but instead of homemade chili oil I used Mom’s Mala Sichuan Chili Sauce, which is similar to a chili crisp. Because I am trying not to regain the COVID 20 I was finally able to lose I did cut the noodles down by half, used ground turkey and turned a serving for 2 into 3. This resulted in each serving being 275 calories including the peanuts. The only ingredients I didn’t have were the Sui Mi Ya Cai and the pickled mustard tube which would’ve been a nice counterpoint. And regarding the recipe I am assuming where it said 1/8 ground Sichuan peppercorns it was 1/8 teaspoon which would make sense in the order of the ingredients. Thank you for the recipe. I look forward to trying others.

In reply to Jai Khalsa. Sorry about it! Yes you should add it with the soy sauce. I just updated the recipe and now it's correct.

I haven’t made the recipe yet. I had a question about the meat topping. You list Shaoxing wine as an ingredient, but don’t mention when to add it. I think probably when you add the soy sauce? Thank you.

This is a wonderful recipe. I made it today after taking your advice and making your Hot Chili Oil recipe. It is very easy to make and addictive!! I will make this again.
