\"Dan<\/a>How do you like your Dan Dan Noodle?<\/h2>\n

The Dan Dan Noodle is originally a Scechwan recipe, which in my opinion translates, “Hot and Spicy”! \u00a0But the heat can literally be thrown out all together if you’re not really into that much of a kick. \u00a0This recipe is a perfect example of how I “dumb it down” for my girls. \u00a0Mostly because the flavor still exists, I just extract the spice so that their little mouths won’t set on fire. \u00a0But if you want it in there for your self, feel free to throw in some chili flakes or some chili oil to pep it up a bit and you’ll love it. \u00a0Aso, you need to decide if you want to use Ground Pork or Chicken. \u00a0In this recipe I’m using Pork but it can very easily be substituted and it won’t change the recipe at all what so ever. \u00a0In fact, I personally prefer Ground Chicken.<\/p>\n

Now, that we’ve covered the basics, all you have to decide now is whether you want the Dan Dan Noodle on a plate or in a bowl as a soup. \u00a0Just like deciding if you want it spicy or not, it’s just a simple additive of chicken stock if you want it to be a soup. \u00a0Nothing to it, it’s that simple. \u00a0On a side note, you can add some peanuts to this dish as well because it gives it a little crunch. \u00a0I only mention it because you’re going to find that ingredient in other versions of this recipe if you’re doing some investigative research on the Dan Dan Noodle. \u00a0I think here in America, P.F. Chang’s is ultimately responsible for bringing this dish to light. \u00a0Other restaurants in the corporate chain like Typhoon’s and the like have added it to their menu as well because it’s a great gourmet Noodle dish.<\/p>\n
