Description
Suan la fen (酸辣粉, literally sour-spicy glass noodles) is a popular Sichuan street food dish — thick sweet potato glass noodles (红薯粉, hong shu fen) in a broth that is simultaneously sour (Chinkiang vinegar), spicy (chilli oil), numbing (Sichuan peppercorn), and deeply savoury. It is a simpler, more accessible relative of dan dan mian and reflects the Sichuan street food tradition of building complex flavour profiles in a single bowl.
