Dan dan noodles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dan dan Noodles (Simplified Chinese: 担担面; Traditional Chinese: 擔擔麵; pinyin: dāndān miàn) is a classic dish of Chinese Sichuan cuisine. It consists of a spicy ground peanut and sesame sauce over noodles, usually very garlicky, and often served with cold sliced cucumbers.

The same sauce is frequently served over poached chicken (called Bon Bon or Bong Bong Chicken), and on steamed, meat-filled dumplings in another Sichuan dish called Suan La Chow Show.

The name is also used for another dish that eschews ground peanuts.

A variety of English spellings are used. The first word may be either Dan, Dun, or Tan. There may or may not be a hyphen between the first two words. The last word may be Mein, Mian, or Noodles.
