Instructions

1. Whisk the starch with 1 cup of the water in a bowl until no lumps remain.
2. Heat the rest of the water in a large pot until tiny bubbles form on the bottom.
3. Give the starch mixture a final whisk, then slowly pour it into the pot while stirring. Lower the heat to low and use a silicone spatula.
4. Stir gently for 3 to 5 minutes, until it becomes a semi-translucent paste.
5. Transfer to a ceramic or stainless steel bowl and let it set at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours. An ice bowl placed under it can speed this up.
6. Meanwhile, make the sauce: put the minced garlic, salt and sesame oil in a bowl and crush the garlic with the back of a spoon. Add the vinegar, soy sauce and sugar, then dilute with ½ cup of water (add more for a lighter sauce). Refrigerate until needed.
7. Once set, loosen the jelly from the bowl and invert it onto a plate.
8. Dab the jelly with water, then cut into shapes with a jelly scraper or knife.
9. Place the noodles in a bowl, ladle over the sauce, and top with chile oil with sediment, chopped green onions, sesame seeds and toasted peanuts. Serve cold.
