Xie Laoban's dan dan noodles (Niu rou dan dan mian) from Sichuan Cookery by Fuchsia Dunlop

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This recipe proved great. This version of the recipe is, I think, slightly different from the one in Every Grain of Rice. Where before I thought the recipe as I made it in EGOR was fine but not as good as her staple dan dan noodles recipe, this one is at least as good. I will make this version again, for sure, whenever I have beef rather than pork. It is light, spicy, and absolutely delicious.

    These noodles are spicy and delicious. Not hard to make, only suggestion is to cut back a little on the dark soy, it can be a little salty.
