Want to know how youll devour a whole platter of lettuce by yourself?
Just drizzle it with an intense, Creamy Sesame Sauce.
Ive got a rather unique salad for you today!

A SICHUAN one (but no, its not spicy, its to cool your mouth between fiery mains!
), andChongqing Street Noodle.
And ever since weve tried it, weve been dying to replicate the recipe because it isinsanelyaddictive.
One mouthful and youll be forever hooked!
You need this sauce in your life.
Its a common pantry staple in Sichuan cuisine (eg.
used inDan Dan Noodles).
I find a chopstick or butter knife works better than a spoon.
But any regular smooth peanut butter spread will do just fine.
As for the making part?
Just mix together until it comes together, and use water to adjust so it becomes drizzle-able.
My sauce looks split … help!
However, the thinner it gets, the more it comes together and the more stable it is.
But this sauce does split again if its sitting around for a long time.
Just give it a good mix to make it creamy again.
Its just ridiculously good!
Its intensely flavoured and quite rich, so actually, you only need a bit for each piece.
Which brings me tothe proper way to serve this sauce drizzled over a Chinese Lettuce Salad.

Normally this means simply piling a platter with crispy small lettuce leaves.
It has good crispy crunch and is slightly nutty, and goes exceptionally well with this dressing.
I used baby cos (aka Romaine) lettuce as I feel it has similar texture, ie.
crispy, juicy and crunchy.
Full size cos or iceberg lettuce cut or torn will also work fine.
Especially if youve made myDan Dan Noodles, youll already have the Chinese Sesame Paste!
