So good! Prepared following the directions and it came out just as shown in the helpful video. A very fresh and light dish with the cucumbers giving nice crunch and coolness.

In reply to Andreas. If you don't want to make fresh noodles what can you substitute with?

Hi Elaine,

I never really put any effort in searching for the dried soybean paste here in Germany as you wrote it might be hard to find outside China. Recently I discovered that both Chinese grocery stores in my town sell it from 王致和 (Wangzhihe) brand and one sells the 六必居 brand, too. I was however a little bit confused as on the packaging the brand name is written 居必六 (reading from left to right) but it's the same on your photo. So maybe this ingredient is not so hard to find outside China in stores either run by Chinese or catering to a lot of Chinese customers.

In reply to Anthony. Doenjang creates great flavors too, although different.

Hello,

For yellow soy bean paste; if you cannot find any Chinese version will doenjang work?

Making handfresh noodles is pretty daunting for an amateur cook such as myself, but is fresh noodles from a Korean or Chinese supermarket okay?
