Dan Dan Noodles




Today I will be making Dan Dan Noodles for my Danny!! I love making Seonkyoung Longest recipes. They are a favorite and she is so darn cute. Dan Dan Mian as known as Dan Dan Noodles is signature Sichuan street food in Sichuan, China. My meat is marinating now. I chose to use ground Turkey. You can use any ground meat you want. Be adventurous. Try new recipes. Make them healthier if need be. Enjoy!

    • 3 Tbsp sauce (approximately half of the sauce)
    • 1/4 cup hot chicken or veggie broth
    • green onion chopped

    • INSTRUCTIONS

      1. Mix all the ingredients for the pork except 1 tbsp cooking oil and preserved mustard green. Let it marinate while preparing other ingredients, about 10 minutes.
      2. Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a mixing bowl and set aside. This sauce can be stored in a refrigerator unto 5 days. 
      3. Heat a wok over high heat, add 1 tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork mixture and stir fry until pork is fully cooked, no more moisture on the bottom and slightly have brown edges, about  3 to 4 minutes. Add preserved mustard green and stir fry 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and keep it warm.
      4. Cook noodles by following the directions of the package you’re using. At the last minute of cooking noodles, add yu choy or your choice of green vegetables into boiling water with noodles. Cook all together for 1 minute, drain
      5. Place half of the sauce (approximately 3 tbsp) on a bottom of serving bowl and lay the noodles on top of the sauce. Arrange the blanched green vegetable on top of the noodles then cooked pork mixture. Pour hot chicken broth around the edge of the bowl. Garnish with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts or sesame seeds.  Mix everything throughly, enjoy!
      6. Toast Sichuan peppercorns on a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes or until you can smell the aroma. Transfer to a mortar and grind with pastel as your desired fineness. I like it to be more fine texture for this recipe.
