Hello everyone.
My name is KP Kwan.
I work in a restaurant and is a huge fan of Asian Food.
Today, I want to share with you how to prepare the famous Sichuan style street food, Dan
Dan Noodles.
The first patrt of making dan dan noodles is to make the chili oil.
Put in about 1/4 cup of chili flakes and some salt in a heat resistant bowl.
Heat up about half cup of oil in a pan.
After the oil is heated up, add a piece of cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, and the
Sichuan peppercorn.
Ane then, cook over low heat until you smell the aroma hitting your nose.
I'll leave it for about a minute, and you can relly smell the aroma permeate the whole
kitchen.
Turn off the heat.
Pour the hot oil to the chili flakes through a wire mesh strainer.
You can see the chili is sizzling.
Pour through the strainer so that the strainer will catch all the spices that we do not want.
Let the oil sizzles for a while, let it cool down,
The oil is now ready!
The next step is to prepare the dan dan noodle sauce.
First, put the 1 teaspoon of sesame paste in a mixing bowl.
This is the sesame paste.
Some stock or just water into the paste, to dilute it before you add in other ingredients
because it is quite thick.
If you do not have sesame paste, you can substitute it with peanut butter plus one to two teaspoons
of sesame oil.
After that, add some soy sauce, a teaspoon of black vineger, salt, dash of white pepper
and lastly, add the chili oil that we have just made.
You can filter the oil and remove the chili flakes but I don't really mind the chili flakes
as it adds some color and flavor.
Combine everything and you will get your lovely dan dan noodles sauce.
The next part is to get ready the mincemeat.
Pork is the most common meat for this recipe, but you can substitute it with beef or chicken
if you are not a pork eater.
Cut the meat to small pieces and chopped it finely.
The pork should have some lean and fats together.
Seasoned the pork with some sugat and some salt.
Fry the minced meat in some vegetable oil.
Separate the meat with the wok spatula to forms many small pieces instead of lumps together.
It takes about eight to ten minutes.
Look at the pork, now it shrinks a little bit and the oil is completely rendered, and
it becomes crisp and slightly brown.
That is the one Now add the secret ingredient, sui mi ya cai,
alright.
This is the specialty from Sichuan, add to the pork,mix together.
Season with a little bit of Shaoxing wine.
The endpoint of the process is when you smell the aroma from the pork and the fat is fully
rendered.
OK.
Done!
Once you get everything ready, what is left is the final step, that's what the dan dan
street noodles vendors were preparing when approached by the customer, that is, to assemble
the noodles.
Place the noodles in boiling water and boil it until it is soft.
Add a few of bok choy inside as well.
Remove the bok choy first when it is ready.
When the noodles are ready, remove it from the boiling water.
Place the noodles in the bowl, add some bok choy at the side.
Add the dan dan noodles sauce, the fried minced pork, crushed peanuts, some scallion and if
you wish, some additional chili oil.
So after all the work, it times to enjoy :)
I hope the video showing every step clearly.
