We dive deep into the legendary Dan Dan noodles, a Sichuan street food known for its bold, spicy and numbing flavours, making everything from scratch - from the iconic Sichuan chilli oil to the toasted sesame paste and the selection of preserved mustard greens. Simple ingredients. Intense flavours!
Dan Dan noodles originated in Sichuan, China, during the late Qing Dynasty, named after the street vendors who sold them. These vendors would carry the noodles in baskets suspended from a bamboo pole (called a “dan dan”) across their shoulders. Originally a humble, inexpensive street food, the dish featured a simple, spicy broth with preserved vegetables and minced pork, designed to be hearty and flavourful for travellers and workers. Over time, it evolved into a beloved dish known for its spicy, numbing, and umami-rich flavours.
