Notes

For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and ensure all sauces are vegan-friendly. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, keeping broth and noodles separate.
To enhance the flavor, toast the Sichuan peppercorns lightly before grinding. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili paste used.
