I couldn't find a dan dan noodle recipe that suited my tastes, so I created my own.

You can make plenty of soup with this recipe (the flavor is one the stronger side).
The spiciness and saltiness differ depending on the doubanjiang you are using, so please adjust the amount to your liking.
You might find the flavor of the soup is a bit strong before adding the sesame paste, but it will be fine. Recipe by Chiwakoko
