Chinese noodles are said to be the best in the north of China, but I've found some amazing noodles here in Sichuan, in Southern China. In Sichuan province, there is a large variety of different noodles to try. One of my favourite, even more so than the internationally famous Dan Dan noodles (dan dan mian 担担面) is the mixed sauce noodles with cowpeas, the jiangdoumian 豇豆面, they are top notch. Some of them are like Chinese street food, while others are in restaurants. Most of them are good.
►The BEST VPNs For China:
I found this place in Chengdu after biking around one night in search of the best noodles with a hungry stomach. I love watching the local Chinese cooking and getting to taste the noodles afterwards brings so much joy. Chinese cuisine is so diverse, and noodles are one of the staples. Each recipe is different, and in Chengdu, Sichuan, I've come to love noodles more than rice or even many of the stir fried dishes. There is beef noodle soup, dan dan noodles, dry chili paste mixed sauce noodles, spare rib noodles, sweet potato noodles with intestine, and a lot of them are really spicy. There are also many hand pulled noodle joints and blade-sheared noodles as well.
The name and address for this local noodle joint is:
Name: 廖老幺杂酱面(Liào lǎo yāo zá jiàng miàn)
Address: 金鹏街12号 (Jīnpéng jiē 12 hào)

Dan Dan Noodles| Street Food Style Spicy Sichuan Noodles| Amazing flavor and very easy to make.
Dan Dan or Dan Dan Mian noodles- not for the faint of heart. Its fiery, spicy, but sooo good!! It started out as a street food in Sichuan. Street hawkers used to carry the noodles on a bamboo pole (Dan) from which the dish got its name. There were two baskets attached to the pole, one holding the ingredients, the other holding the cookware. It’s a very easy dish to make which has a complex flavor. It will shock your tastebuds.
Ingredients-
½ lb ground chicken
1 portion wheat noodle/any noodle/spaghetti
3 tsp pickled mustard green. Ideally it’s a must for this dish.
1 tsp sesame oil
Handful Yu Choy or your fav leafy greens
¼ cup hot chicken or veggie stock
For sauce
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorn, grounded using mortar n pestle/ blender (use black peppercorn if not available)
2 tsp tahini
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp black rice vinegar (optional)
3 tsp chilli oil
1 tsp brown sugar
¼ tsp minced garlic
To marinate ground chicken
1 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp grated ginger
1 tsp soy sauce
¼ tsp salt n Sichuan pepper mix (salt n pepper will do too)
Step 1 – Toasting and grinding the Sichuan peppercorn
Toast 1 tsp peppercorn on high heat for min. Transfer to a mortar n pestle and grind it a powder. You can use a electric grinder too.
Step 2 – Making the sauce
Add 2 tsp tahini, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp black rice vinegar (optional), 3 tsp chilli oil , 1 tsp brown sugar, ¼ tsp minced garlic in a bowl and mix well. I used my favorite chilli oil which has Sichuan peppercorn in it and chilli flakes. It is store bought. There are Chinese sesame paste available in stores. I had middle eastern Tahini at home so just used it instead.
Step 3 – Marinating the ground chicken
Marinate the ground chicken with 1 tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp soy sauce, ¼ tsp salt and Sichuan pepper mix (salt n pepper will do too). I had made this salt and Sichuan pepper mix for my Salt n Pepper Shrimp previously. You just use salt and pepper too as I mentioned. There’s no need to marinate the ground chicken for long.
Step 4 – Cooking the ground chicken
Heat 1 tsp sesame oil on hi heat. We are looking for a crispy texture on the ground chicken. So cook it till its very dry and you get the texture. When its done, add 3 tbsp pickled mustard green and cook for 30 secs. It’s a must for this dish for its distinct flavor. However if you don’t have it just use some leafy greens and add 1 tsp vinegar. Leave everything in the pan
Step 5 – Preparing the noodles
I used wheat noodles. You can use type of noodles or spaghetti. There are also special Dan Dan noodles available in the market. Follow the directions on the package to boil your noodles. Right before its done add some leafy greens. I used Yu Choy. There’s no need to strain anything. We will transfer the noodles and the greens directly from the pot.
Step 6 – Final step
In a serving bowl, add the sauce mix. Then add the noodles right from the pot. Add ¼ cup of hot chicken or veggie stock. It will add more flavor and keep the noodles loose. Add the greens, then add the cooked ground chicken. Now its all about mixing everything in to get the flavors out. I was out of sesame seeds and scallions. You can use it to garnish. It tasted fantastic anyway, soo spicy but soo good !!!
