Dan Dan Noodles Ingredients

  • Noodles – Udon or yaki soba noodles

  • Fresh – green onions, ginger, garlic cloves

Directions

How To Make Dan Dan Noodles

  1. Cook the noodles in a large pot. They’re going to get bathed in piping-hot dan dan sauce, so it’s OK if they cool a bit while you make the garlicky, spicy pork sauce.

  2. Fry the pork in a large skillet. When it’s nearly cooked, toss in fragrant fresh garlic and ginger.

  3. Dan dan sauce time! Mix the garlicky fried pork with soy sauce, sherry, stock, peanut butter, cinnamon, ground Sichuan peppercorns, sugar and chili paste. Simmer for five minutes to thicken the sauce and make your house smell AMAZING.

  4. Pour the brothy dan dan sauce all over your cooked noodles, garnish and slurp away!
