3. In a cold pan (no heat yet), add peanut butter, chili flakes, green onion, sesame seeds, garlic, sugar, 1 tbsp chili crisp, rice vinegar, and dark soy sauce.
4. Heat 1/3 cup neutral oil until it's really hot, then carefully pour it over the cold ingredients in the pan and stir it all together.

6. If you want them extra silky, turn on the heat to medium-low, splash in 2–3 tbsp of the reserved noodle water and thoroughly mix together.
