Dan Dan Mian 担担面
Dan Dan Mian 担担面
Dan dan mian is one of the most popular street foods in Sichuan cuisine. It is a noodle dish swimming in a spicy sauce consisting of preserved vegetables, a lot of chili oil, Sichuan pepper, minced pork and scallions.
The name dan dan refers to a type of carrying pole that was used by street vendors. The pole was carried over the shoulder, with two baskets attached at either end. One basket would hold the noodles while the other side contained the chili sauce and pork topping. The name literally translates as “carrying pole noodles” but better translated as “peddler’s noodles.”
Personally, I prefer the Taiwanese version of this dish. In the Taiwanese version, sesame paste or peanut butter is added to cut the spiciness and it is usually less soupy.
Enjoy the burn!
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Serving Size: 2 - 3
Dan Dan Sauce Ingredients:
½ cup of chicken stock
¼ cup of soy sauce
1 tbsp of Chinese sesame paste
2 tbsp of Chinese black vinegar
4-6 tbsp of chili oil with fried garlic ( more if you like it spicier)
1 tbsp of sesame oil
1 tsp of sugar
1 tsp of crushed Sichuan peppercorn
Dan Dan Pork Topping Ingredients:
2 scallions, roughed chopped, save some green for garnish
2 tsp of minced garlic
2 tsp of minced ginger
2 tbsp of of Tianjin preserved vegetables (optional)
½ lb of ground pork
1 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine
Egg noodles
Directions:
1. Start with the sauce to give it a little of time for all the flavors to meld. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Mix/whisk until the sesame paste is thoroughly incorporated.
2. Now for the pork topping - Heat oil in a wok over high heat and quickly sauté the scallions, garlic, ginger and preserved vegetables. Keep it moving so it doesn’t burn.
3. Once the scallions, garlic, ginger and preserved vegetables are fragrant, add the ground pork. Cook until no longer pink then add the Chinese cooking wine and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Cook the egg noodles per package directions, if fresh noodles, should take about 4 minutes.
5. Drain noodles and divide among two or three bowls, or however depending on your appetite. Spoon as much of the dan dan sauce over the noodles as you like and toss. Make sure all the noodle strands are coated in red. Spoon the dan dan pork over the noodles and garnish with scallions.
6. Serve immediately.
Pro tip:
If you like things on the spicy side, you can drizzle chili oil over the noodles before serving.
If you want to add vegetables, bok choy goes well with Dan Dan Mian. Blanch the vegetables in the same pot you are using to cook the noodles.

Please start making videos again. This is one of the best channels on KZread.
I really liked it except for the preserved vegetables
Another Amazing recipe, will most likely make this for the family tomorrow. Thanks again :)
This looks amazing! Thanks for posting :)
Hi, instead of using the soy sauce, i did what my shichuan friend told me, replace it with "sweet noodle sauce" also known as 甜麵醬, it taste a little bit of salty and mainly sweet, perhaps you should try the method my friend told me, it ended up quite finger licking with another spicy sauce from China called "老乾媽“ Nevertheless, a very nice presentation! Love your music and video quality. out of topic, how do you edit the word to appear one by one, as in when you move your hand, the words appear by the flow, if you know what i'm talking, lol.

Hi! Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely have to look for those two sauces. The sauce aisle at asian supermarkets can be a bit nuts, so it's always nice to get specific recommendations. As for the editing, I'm not sure how familiar you are with programs like After Effects and I'm sure there's tons of ways to do it, but...I start by duplicating the video clip and set the text layer in between those two video clips. Then I mask out the object (i.e. hand) in the first video clip and have the mask move with the object to reveal the text underneath. Er, hope that makes sense. Thanks again!

Cheers, I will definitely try your recipe when I'm free to cook. (Currently traveling in Tokyo for work) Assuming you are from Europe, I'm not too sure with the way Europe markets work, but as a Malaysian that live in the capital, I do find many China nationalities opening their own grocery stores to cater with the Chinese from mainland (Yeap, we have many Chinese from mainland here too). My main point is, perhaps you should look for the Chinese owned grocery store around your place, I'm sure you will be able to find it :)
