ID: 4510b3e9...

This is a perfectly recreated classic Din Tai Fung 'Signature Appetizer'. It consists of four ingredients: shredded kelp, shredded dried tofu, glass noodles, and mung bean sprouts, offering a crisp, rich texture with distinct layers. Paired with a special 'soul sauce' that is slightly sour and sweet, fragrant and numbing, it's an easy-to-make, refreshing, and delicious summer cold dish.

Important Notes

⚠️

For better presentation, you can remove the head and tail of the mung bean sprouts to make 'silver sprouts'. If consuming at home, keeping them intact is more nutritious.

⚠️

All blanched ingredients must be thoroughly drained; otherwise, they will dilute the sauce and affect the flavor.

⚠️

Chilling blanched ingredients in ice water or cold boiled water is a crucial step to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant color.

⚠️

For the chili oil in the sauce, using homemade 'Lao Gan Ma' style will yield a more fragrant and layered flavor.

⚠️

You can adjust the sourness, sweetness, saltiness, and spiciness of the sauce according to personal taste.
