Dan Dan Noodles (担担面) A real-deal dan dan noodle recipe that stays true to the authentic Sichuan flavor. My dan dan noodles bring together pork dry-fried with fermented black beans, a creamy Sichuan sauce built on sesame paste and chili oil, and a tangle of thin wheat noodles tossed with Sui Mi Ya Cai. This is my home cook take on the classic Sichuan street noodle bowl.
