Authentic Dandan Noodle (20 Minutes!)

Savoury, Spicy, and Addicting Dandan Noodle is super easy to make at home!

Dandan Noodle is one of Asia’s most famous street food, and you can make it in under 20 minutes!

This spicy, numbing sesame sauce is served with fresh noodles and topped with pickled ground pork.

Dandan Noodle is one of my must-order dishes wherever I go to a Sichuan restaurant, and once you try it, I promise it will be yours as well!

Dandan Noodle is easy to make, but one of the essential ingredients is Sui Mi Ya Cai, Sichuan dried and preserved vegetables.

Sui Mi Ya Cai is a crucial ingredient in many famous Sichuan Cuisine. Sui Mi Ya Cai makes up a crucial sour and savory flavor in Authentic Dandan Noodle.

You can find Ya Cai at most Asian grocery stores, or you can order them off Amazon. 

Sesame Paste

To make the famous Dandan Noodle sauce you will need Creamy Sesame Paste (or Tahini), Homemade Chili Oil,  Soy Sauce, Black Vinegar, and a pinch of sugar.

You can use Tahini to replace the Sesame paste, or I also have a very simple Sesame Paste recipe that takes less than 5 minutes to make.

Homemade Chili Oil

I am using my Homemade Chilli Oil today; it is my favorite chili oil and super easy to make at home.

Unlike many other recipes, there will be no waste with this homemade chili oil recipe. I highly recommend making the chili oil in bulk because it tastes amazing with EVERYTHING.

The topping consists of ground pork or chicken and Sui Mi Ya Cai.

However, if you are a vegetarian, you can also use beyond meat or chopped shiitake mushrooms.

Shiitake mushroom has a meat-like texture and is also great at absorbing flavor.

For the noodles, you can use any white noodle of your choice.

I like to use either my homemade hand-cut noodles, sliced noodles, or fresh white noodles. If you don’t like it near a local grocery store, I like DragonMal Wu-Mu’s Dry Noodle, Tseng Noodles, KIKI FINE GOODS, and Hsin Tung Yang Sliced Noodle.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
