Dan Dan Noodles

3 weeks ago 10

I’ve been lovingly dubbed the noodle queen by my mom, and I fully embrace the title. I like to think I make some pretty great noods, so I always look for any excuse to cook them. I also have a deep love and respect for Chinese cuisine, so trying my hand at Dan Dan Noodles felt like something I needed to do, even if I knew my version would be far from traditional. This recipe is my take on the flavors I love most. Savory, nutty, salty, tangy, and just spicy enough. A creamy sauce coats the noodles, the pork brings richness, and the peanuts add crunch in the best way. It’s bold and comforting and somehow still feels light enough to keep going back for another bite!
