Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles 坦坦面 Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles 坦坦面
This recipe is based on the Traditional Dan Dan Noodles recipe by Fuschia Dunlop with a few adjustments to the topping amounts, which is the way I liked it in the end. For example, I like to use a little extra vinegar and less chili oil. This is still very spicy for me, but it might differ depending on the chili oil you use and of course your tolerance for spiciness. I also only use one type of soy sauce (I recommend a high quality one if you can find it).This will make a very big portion for 2 people or a smaller portion for 4 people if you have other side dishes to eat. You can also make all of the pork topping and save it for another meal on a different day. Just cook the noodles fresh, adding all the toppings as needed. Felice
