Dan Dan Noodles

These noodles are so creamy and moreish and would be great to serve alongside some of our dumplings or duck & bun hamper as part of a Chinese feast. Or simply enjoy them on their own!

Serves 4

Ingredients

Noodles of your choice

2 cloves finely minced garlic

1 tsp chilli flakes

1 tbsp sesame seeds

1 tsp Sichuan pepper

4 tbsp Oil

1 tbsp Soy sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

2 tsp black vinegar

1 tbsp tahini or peanut butter

*omit the chilli flakes for a mild version

Method

Put the garlic, chilli flakes, sesame seeds and Sichuan pepper in a heatproof bowl.
Heat the oil & pour it over the spices so they sizzle, then add soy sauce, sugar vinegar & tahini.
Boil the noodles, stir a little bit of the hot starchy noodle water into the sauce then drain the noodles and mix into the sauce.
