Dan Dan noodles, hailing from Sichuan province in China, are a seamless blend of chewy noodles drenched in a savory, spicy sauce made from chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, sesame or peanut paste, and minced meat. As for the name “Dan Dan”, it refers to the bamboo poles that street vendors traditionally used to carry their cooking pots . Over time, these noodles have evolved, with regional and international variations emerging.
This recipe is for the meatless, straight-out-of-the-jar version, but you can add minced pork or beef (fried until slightly crispy) if you wish.
