Chin Chin Noodles With Peanut Sauce image

This is a delicious Sichuan noodle dish served at Fun Lums Chinese Restaurant. Sichuan food tends to be hot, but one can amp down the heat by cutting back on the amount of chile oil. The Sichuan preserved Chinese radish is sold in cans at Asian markets. It's hot stuff, but flavorful and crunchy, but optional.
