Introduction
What everybody loves about this recipe are the flavours of black bean sauce, five-spice powder, Chinese rice wine and chilli. I like there to be a fair amount of sauce in the finished dish, but it does need to be silky and viscous – not too runny but not over reduced either, because then it won’t coat the noodles pleasingly.
