The Spicy and Sour Noodle Soup contained transparent vermicelli noodles with preserved vegetables, nuts, cabbage, and chili oil. The type of spice that they used here is the "ma la" numbing spice type. That means that after you slurp up some of the noodles, you will get a numbing sensation in your mouth. It's quite special! After that, the spice doesn't linger in your mouth -- it's a good type of spice!
