Am fortunate to live in Hong Kong so easy for me to get ingredients but wonder if tahini would be a reasonable substitute for Chinese sesame paste, as I have a big jar in the fridge.

I nailed it with this recipe. My husband ranked it the top 10 dishes I’ve ever made. Thank you, Maggie!

Great recipe! Delicious! Easy to fomlow. I didnt have pork but I made it with tempeh creating a vegan version of Dan Dan noodles. I used the same method as for cooking pork to replicate the crispy texture. I’m excited to make the szceshuan oil. Finally someone has a recipe with all the components to make a rich and complex oil.

This recipe is dope. I make this a few times a year (last night for example), and my family loves it. I fiddle with most recipes, but follow this one exactly as written. Maggie, I LOVE your recipes!

Sorry I don’t have the gram measurement right now, but the ones I use are finely minced type that comes in the package. If you finely mince it, you should loosely pack it in the 1/2 cup. If you’re not sure, start with less and you can always add a bit more if the pork doesn’t taste salty enough.

Huge variation depending on how I chop and pack them into the measuring cup…

I also did not have proper dan dan noodles, so I used some other wheat noodles in my pantry that were a similar size and shape. I also used a vegan burger substitute (I think it was Beyond Meat) because that’s what I had in the freezer. Was still delicious! Thank you so much for the care you put into these recipes, I am a big fan of your blog. 🙂

I have made this delicious bowl of noodles 3 times now, and I expect I’ll make it a couple more times this week. It’s SOO good! Great job Maggie. The noodle sauce is packed with flavor and tastes amazing with the homemade chili oil. I had leftover chili oil from your Biang Biang noodle recipe, so I used that for the chili oil in the recipe. So good! I did not have Chinese sesame paste (though I ordered some from Mala Market), so I used peanut butter. Cannot wait to try it with the sesame soon!
