1. When diluting sesame paste, you can use sesame oil or boiled water. I feel it is too greasy if all oil is used, and it is a bit bland if all water is used, so I prefer to add both. If you feel the color is too light after mixing, just add a little soy sauce to adjust the color.

2. If you use raw alkaline noodles to make hot dry noodles, remember to cook the noodles until they are 80% cooked in advance, take them out and mix them with sesame oil, blow them dry and shake them before using.
