Cold noodles or lěngmiàn (冷面) is me and Royal Chef’s favorite dish to eat especially during summer as it doesn’t make you hot and it’s quite “refreshing”. Although I have to admit, I still eat lengmian even during winter, it’s just so good!

There are a lot of variants to lengmian. Those sold in 7-11 are quite good, but Royal Chef said it’s loaded with MSG; while the ones sold in Carrefour are ok, but they aren’t quite as tasty. The noodles also differ in size, shape as well as what it’s made of.

So here’s Royal Chef’s version.

Chicken Sotanghon (Chicken Vermicelli)

Chicken sotanghon is one of my favorite noodles (like it even more than bihon). It is transparent thin noodles cooked with chicken and vegetables (with little or lots of chicken broth).

As usual, chicken sotanghon is inspired by Panlasang Pinoy here and here, but I’ve worked around it as I didn’t have enough time or ingredients.
