Dan Dan Mian Thai Noodles

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Confession:  I absolutely love Chinese and Thai food.  That being said, I find most Chinese/Thai dishes in restaurants and recipes in cookbooks to be disappointing.  Not the case with this wonderful dish.  This is my second time preparing this recipe for the masses and prefer the changes I made this time around, which is often the case when I try new recipes. If you can’t find tahini (sesame paste) you can use natural unsweetened peanut butter but if I can find it in Marshall, Minnesota, you should be able to find it by you too!  There wasn’t a bean sprout to be found in town this week, but they are a nice addition on top.  I’m going to try this next with more veggies like pea pods, matchstick carrots, and bok choy.  Below is the recipe with the changes I made tonight.  Don’t be intimidated by the size of the ingredient list.  It is a very easy recipe and if you don’t have these Asian condiments in your pantry, get ’em!!  You won’t be sorry!

    Wonder how this would be if you used the tofu noodles? I’ve heard they are wonderful and you can’t tell the difference in most recipes. My friend uses them and has 4 picky boys. They don’t know the difference, she says.

    Now that would make these low carb….right?

    I have never tried tofu noodles before. I know there are a few low carb noodle options, but I have never tried any of them. If you try it with the tofu noodles, come back and let me know how it went!
