Chengdu, Sichuan Province — 19th century street hawker origin

Technical analysis of authentic Dan Dan Mian: thin egg noodles in a small but intensely flavoured sauce of Sichuan pepper oil, chilli oil, sesame paste, soy, and Yibin ya cai (芽菜 preserved vegetables), topped with pork mince fried crispy with doubanjiang. Served in very small portions — traditionally a quick street snack eaten standing.
