Dan Dan Mian - Sichuan Spicy Noodles

"I wouldn't classify it as burning, but it was pretty tasty! The original recipe from here: http://appetiteforchina.com/recipes/dan-dan-mian-sichuan-spicy-noodles calls for waaaay too much salt. On top of the salt in the soy sauce and chicken stock, it says to add 3 whole teaspoons. I only added 2 and if I make it again, I'll only put in 1/2tsp. The recipe below reflects this."

directions

  • Combine pork and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet until hot. Stir-fry, stirring with a spatula to break it into small pieces. When the pork is lightly browned, about 3 minutes, remove and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. (This will be for the noodles.) While the water is heating, go to the next step.
  • Reheat the wok (add oil if needed) and stir-fry the garlic, ginger, and onions until aromatic, about 1 minute.
  • Add peanut butter, soy sauce, chilli oil, sesame oil, Sichuan pepper, salt, and chicken stock and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, when the pot of water has come to boil, toss in noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain well.
  • To serve, divide noodles into individual bowls or put them all into a large bowl for sharing. Ladle the sauce on top, top with pork and chopped peanuts, and serve while hot.

  1. Delicious!!! I used turkey sausage as that is what I had and the other reviewer suggested sausage for more flavor. Definately a keeper. I might add some red pepper and maybe some vegies but that is for me. Thank you for a wonderful dish. Made for SPRING PAC 2010.
     
  2. I used a lb of bulk country pork sausage, rather than minced pork, and we found this to be delicious!
