Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles
This rustic, satisfying dish is a classic meal in a bowl from the Sichuan province of China. Traditionally, street food vendors would carry two large buckets over their shoulders balanced on a pole called a ‘dan dan’ which is where the dish gets its name. The key flavour, apart from chilli, is Sichuan pepper - it’s popular for its complex flavour and tingling effect on the tongue - which becomes surprisingly addictive the more you eat!

Lovely flavours
Dan Dan noodles - so simple and delicious!
A great one to mix up weekday meals!
Firstly, I absolutely love the Spicery... but for me this has been the only disappointment since I signed up 2 years ago. Lacks that flavour hit and it’s hotter than 3/5 for sure. The ingredients look like it could be a winner but just doesn’t come through and the Szechuan is too intense. Tasted a bit like Lemon Dettol Wipes, sorry!
So sorry you didn't enjoy this one! We can totally understand the association as Sichuan peppers do have that sort of citrusy flavour to them. We'll let our development team know about the heat rating as well. Thanks for feedback!
Really enjoyed this dinner made with tofu for a vegetarian option. Because we prefer that crispy we kept it separate but worked well. I would agree it’s more spicy than 3/5.
Oh wow! We absolutely love this- the tofu looks perfectly crispy and the baby corn and mangetout add a lovely pop of colour, hats off to the chef!
Absolute favourite in our house - flavour profile was spot on. Can’t fault it!
Thanks for your great review, this is a favourite at Spicery HQ too!
My husband really liked this noodle dish which I made with tofu for a change. However it was too hot for me. I am going to try it again but this time strain the chillie flakes from the oil once coloured in order to give a milder chilli flavour to the dish and then give the strained flakes to my husband to add the heat that he likes to his portion.
Yummy we love this recipe with tofu, a delicious way to mix up meals! We're sorry to hear you found it too hot - that's a great idea to separate the chilli flakes. We hope you enjoy it and let us know how you get on, happy spicing!
Lockdown noodles! Couldn’t get sprouting broccoli so subbed it for shredded cabbage, carrots and sweetcorn
Great job, Jennie! Maybe 'lockdown noodles' will become legendary in years to come!
Excellent flavour and the Sichuan definitely does tingle. More time well spent during lock down letting my son prep and cook.
Sounds like you have a helpful lad! Happy spicing!
Amazing. A little spicy for my wife but I loved them. Proper Sichuan style. It’s not just curries The Spicery does well.
Why, thank you! ;)
Added extra bell pepper for interest. Has a lovely smoky spicy taste
That's a great idea, it sounds so delicious we will have to try that ourselves!
Loved this recipe kit! We used vegan mince to make a veggie version and it was delicious. Will definitely buy again.
Ooh that sounds yum, we'll have to try this recipe with vegan mince!
Great flavour and very simple once you have prepped it all. Nice that you can adjust to individual flavour with the chilli oil on the side. Went down well. Who needs a takeaway on a Friday night when you can make it this tasty!
YUM everything looks incredible! We want to eat oodles of these noodles!
Veg Sausage Dan-Dan Noodles with left over Singapore Noodles and salad. Very tough to decide which Noodles tasted better. Naturally none left to try again!!! Thank you once more Spicery Wonder-People
YUM- this looks great! We could eat oodles of those noodles- happy spicing!
