needs black pepper. be ready to stir!

If you’re looking for Slanted Door’s crab noodle recipe, this ain’t it. It’s adapted from it, but not nearly as good and so salty it’s almost inedible. Ditch the soy sauce and sesame oil, add chicken broth, and then you’ll have it.

I have made this with both Dungeness crab and spot prawns, delicious in all ways. I would start by adding only half the sauce first and tasting, it was a bit too much salt and liquid for the amount of bean thread noodles.

needs black pepper. be ready to stir!

I agree. Next time I will use hot sesame oil!
