The Best Dan Dan Noodles! (Spicy Noodles Recipe) | No Talking Cooking Video | Make Eat Home

Another noodle dish to add to your list of foods to crave for!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

After making my own Sichuan red oil and Chinese sesame paste, I’d be remiss if I didn’t make the ever so famous dan dan noodles. Well-known for its spicy, nutty and umami flavors, dan dan noodles is a famous Sichuan street food, named after the bamboo carrying poles used by the street vendors selling them. A special ingredient that needs to be sourced so that we can make authentic dan dan noodles is the Sui Mi Ya Cai or Sichuan preserved mustard green stems. This preserved vegetable is specially made in the Sichuan city of Yibin and gives dan dan noodles a distinct and special flavor. If you have all the ingredients on hand, this noodle dish is very simple to make yet so tasty!

► The Best Dan Dan Noodles! (Spicy Noodles Recipe)

Ingredients:

Pork Topping:
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 star anise
1 lb (16 oz) ground pork
⅛ cup Chinese cooking wine
¼ cup light soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
½ cup ya cai (Sichuan preserved mustard green stems)

Sauce (per serving):
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon black vinegar
1 tablespoon chicken broth
1 teaspoon Chinese sesame paste
1 teaspoon Chinese chili oil/Sichuan red oil

100g egg or wheat noodles (per serving)
2-3 tablespoons green onions (per serving), chopped

Directions:
Heat oil on high in a sauté pan or wok. Add star anise and fry for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add ground pork and stir-fry until the meat is no longer pink. Add Chinese cooking wine, light soy sauce and sugar. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add the ya cai and cook for a couple more minutes or until the mixture is dry. Set aside.
In an individual serving bowl, add the sauce which consists of soy sauce, black vinegar, chicken broth, Chinese sesame paste and Chinese chili oil/Sichuan red oil. Set aside.
Cook egg or wheat noodles according to package instructions. Add cooked noodles to the bowl with the sauce. Top with pork and green onions. Serve immediately.

► Tips

Others have used zha cai or preserved mustard green tubers as an alternative to Sui Mi Ya Cai.

The pork and ya chai mixture is traditionally fried until very dry to prevent it from spoiling easily.

I used Dan Dan style noodles which are thin wheat noodles that are cooked by boiling for 3 minutes in water.
