Quintessential Dan Dan Noodles with Peanut Butter
My mother-in-law was going to put chrysanthemum greens to waste again, and sesame paste was kind of expensive, and I wanted to make something using stuff at home... then my husband muttered "dan dan noodles", so here it is. He said it's better than the ones he had in a restaurant!
I used chrysanthemum greens because we had a bunch that were close to its best-by date. I recommend it anyway because it was nice and crispy. If you're using bok-choy or spinach, microwave them first. Boil water for the noodles while you're making the soup to cut down on time. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by cakes&ale

Cooking Instructions
- 1
While you're boiling water for the soup, add all ingredients for the meat and miso topping into a heated frying pan and stir-fry. Make sure everything is mixed and cooked well.
- 2
Add ingredients for the soup to the water boiled in Step 1. Mix thoroughly and dissolve. When all condiments are dissolved and brought to a boil, the soup is finished.
- 3
Boil plenty of water for the noodles in a pot. When it's boiling, pour a decent amount into a deep ramen dish to warm it up. While doing so, boil the noodles.
- 4
Drain the ramen dish, and spread the chopped chrysanthemum greens on the bottom. Place the noodles on top, and pour in the soup gently. Top with meat and miso.
- 5
Top with chrysanthemum greens and white sesame seeds (whole or grained) to serve. It's healthy because more greens are hidden beneath the noodles. It's a delicious way of eating up lots of veggies.
- 6
You can use udon noodles instead of ramen, and top with eggs instead of meat and miso to serve for lunch. I dunked freshly cooked rice into the leftover soup and mixed them together. It tasted great.
- 7
I used the creamy version of Skippy's peanut butter time, but the super chunky one also tastes great.
