No coming back
Things that actually went wrong over 20 years in a kitchen.
- Adding more sugar instead of pear juice can make the sauce taste heavy.
- If the noodles are still wet, the sauce slides off.
You can fix this
If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.
- If the broth is too salty, add cold water or more ice. The ice thins it further as it melts, so it should taste slightly salty when you serve it.
Storage
The sauce keeps 5 days refrigerated. Use the boiled noodles right away.
