Addictive Dan Dan Noodles

Begin by cooking the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until it is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Lower the heat to medium, then add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, five-spice powder, and Sichuan peppercorns to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chili oil, peanut butter, tahini, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and chicken broth until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

Add the cooked noodles into the mixing bowl with the sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Transfer the noodles to serving bowls and top each with the cooked pork mixture.

Sprinkle minced garlic, chopped peanuts, and green onions over the top of each serving.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
