1 Step 1: To make the chili oil: In a small pot, combine the Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon stick, star anise, and oil. Heat over medium low heat slowly to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, then turn off the heat. Wait 6-7 minutes, then remove the peppercorns, cinnamon stick, and star anise with a slotted spoon. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and let them steep in the hot oil. It should become fragrant, almost like popcorn. Allow the oil to cool. This makes more chili oil than needed; store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.2 Step 2: To make the meat mixture: In a wok, heat 1 teaspoon of oil over medium heat and brown the ground pork. Add the sweet bean sauce, shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and five spice powder. Cook until all liquid is evaporated. Set aside. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in the wok over medium heat and sauté the sui mi ya cai for a few minutes. Set aside.3 Step 3: To make the sauce: Mix together all sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. You can loosen it with more hot water or add more Sichuan peppercorn powder.4 Step 4: To prepare the noodles and veggies: Cook the noodles according to package directions and drain. Blanch the greens in the noodle water and drain.5 Step 5: Divide the sauce among six bowls (or four for larger servings), then add the noodles and leafy greens. Top with the cooked pork and sui mi ya cai. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and scallions if using.6 Step 6: Mix everything together and enjoy.getsaucepan.com/r/704a7f5c-ed20-473e-97c7-d392b1fc78f0 · Original: https://thewoksoflife.com/dan-dan-noodles/
