Bring dan dan noodles, a popular Sichuan street food, home with this ready-to-use jarred sauce from Chinese Laundry Kitchen. The layered, umami-forward sauce gets its tingly spice from roasted Sichuan peppercorns and nutty flavor from sesame, a classic dan dan sauce ingredient. With a hint of sweetness and warm aromatic spice, it makes a near-instant dinner—just boil noodles and toss with the velvety sauce. But we also like it with other ingredients, like fried tofu or in a green bean stir-fry. Made with 100 percent real ingredients and no additives by a family-owned business in California.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Toss with boiled drained noodles. Classic Sichuan versions may also include ground meat—like pork or beef—and preserved vegetables, which would be delicious here, but the vegetarian option is also excellent. Try it with pasta, rice, dumplings, vegetables, seared or steamed tofu as well.
Refrigerate after opening.
