Quintessential Dan Dan Noodles with Peanut Butter
- 2 to 3 packs Chinese-style noodles
- 100 grams Minced pork
- 1 tsp Doubanjiang
- 1/2 tsp Grated garlic
- 1/2 tsp Grated ginger
- 2 tsp Sake
- 1 or 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 800 to 900 ml Boiling water
- 2 tbsp Weipa
- 1 tsp Grated garlic
- 1 tsp Grated ginger
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Sake
- 2 tbsp Sakura shrimp - tiny dried shrimp
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Tianmianjiang - Chinese sweet bean sauce
- 1 tsp Ra-yu
- 4 to 5 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 tsp Mentsuyu
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Yakiniku sauce (bottled)
- 100 ml Milk
- 1 or 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 bunch Chrysanthemum greens (or spinach, bok-choy)
- 1 White sesame seeds (whole or grounded)
- While you're boiling water for the soup, add all ingredients for the meat and miso topping into a heated frying pan and stir-fry.
- Make sure everything is mixed and cooked well.
- Add ingredients for the soup to the water boiled in Step 1.
- Mix thoroughly and dissolve.
- When all condiments are dissolved and brought to a boil, the soup is finished.
- Boil plenty of water for the noodles in a pot.
- When it's boiling, pour a decent amount into a deep ramen dish to warm it up.
- While doing so, boil the noodles.
- Drain the ramen dish, and spread the chopped chrysanthemum greens on the bottom.
- Place the noodles on top, and pour in the soup gently.
- Top with meat and miso.
- Top with chrysanthemum greens and white sesame seeds (whole or grained) to serve.
- It's healthy because more greens are hidden beneath the noodles.
- It's a delicious way of eating up lots of veggies.
- You can use udon noodles instead of ramen, and top with eggs instead of meat and miso to serve for lunch.
- I dunked freshly cooked rice into the leftover soup and mixed them together.
- It tasted great.
- I used the creamy version of Skippy's peanut butter time, but the super chunky one also tastes great.
