Important Notes
💡 When dry-searing the peppers, no oil is needed. Avoid flipping them constantly at first; let them sit to heat through to achieve that enticing charred aroma.
⚠️ For those who prefer more heat, you can substitute the sweet chili peppers with green chili peppers or jalapeños.
💡 The sauce should be seasoned slightly saltier than usual, as it needs to be diluted when mixed with the noodles to reach the perfect balance.
✨ Adding fresh ginger paste at the final step effectively enhances the flavor, making the overall profile of the century egg sauce more vibrant and distinct.
