Method
 

  1. To make the sauce base, combine the following ingredients in a large bowl: light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar, scallion, ginger, garlic, “godmother” sauce, sesame oil, za-cai, and sesame seeds.
  2. Follow the package instructions to boil the rice noodles. When the noodles have one minute left to cook, add the leafy greens to the boiling water. Let them cook together for the last minute, then drain the water. Toss the noodles and greens with the sauce base, and sprinkle some chopped cilantro and peanuts on top.
