Recipe
Lazy Dan Dan Noodles
Ground pork in a nutty spicy tahini-chili sauce over thin wheat noodles. Simplified Dan Dan with all the depth, none of the complexity.
Method
Cook the Pork
- 01Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add pork and spread flat and let it sit 2 minutes until the bottom darkens and caramelizes. Break apart and cook until crispy-edged throughout, 2–3 more minutes. Add garlic and soy sauce, toss, and remove from heat. Set pork aside.
Build the Sauce in the Pan
- 02Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tahini, chili oil, soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar directly to the pan. Add 1/4 cup of water gradually, stirring until the sauce is smooth and pourable.
Cook the Noodles
- 03Boil noodles according to package and drain well.
Toss
- 04Add noodles directly to the sauce and toss until every strand is fully coated. Add a splash of water if it tightens too fast.
Plate and Finish
- 05Mound noodles in a deep bowl. Spoon crispy pork over the top and finish with scallions, sesame seeds, and a heavy chili oil drizzle.
