Recipe video above. The iconic spicy Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles, made at home! Am intensely flavoured spicy sesame chilli oil sauce tossed with noodles and pork. Don&#x27;t be daunted by the list and steps, there&#x27;s no need to rush. Cook and prepare all the parts except the noodles.

Spicy Sambal Mushroom Noodles Recipe

oyster mushrooms (trimmed nd diced)

ginger ((from about 1-inch knob))

garlic

white granulated sugar

tomato paste

basil (plus more as garnish)

sambal oelek chili paste OR sriracha

soy sauce

rice wine vingar

water

linguine noodles

unsalted butter ((or skip if you want to make it vegan!))

To a large non-stick skillet (if you don&#x27;t use a non-stick skillet you may need to add a bit more oil) pan, set over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cooking and stirring them often, until they’re soft, about 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until they’re crispy, about 5 more minutes. 

Next, add the fresh ginger and garlic; cook until softened about 2 minutes.&nbsp;

Pour in the sugar, tomato paste, basil, sambal, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and mix until combined. Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes just so all the flavors are married and the sauce thickens slightly.

Meanwhile, to a pot of salted water, cook the paste until al dente. Immediately transfer the noodles to the pan with the sauce and add the butter. Toss until all the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce. 

Divide amongst bowls and garnish with basil.&nbsp;

Wow, so much deliciousness in just 15 minutes! I love Asian noodles, I've made some here more savory /sweet, this is good inspiration for kicking things up a few notches! I have come across peppercorn powder, is it easy to find?

I can't believe that I've never tried Dan Dan Noodles before - I love all of these ingredients and the fact that it's spicy is even better. Making this asap!

Great easy meal!
I used roasted pork and spinach for bok choy.
I added a bit more spice (garlic and chili sauce)
than I should have so next time i"ll use less.
Loved how easy it was and loved the sauce.

Fantastic! I love Asian noodle dishes - so quick and easy - and this one is super flavorful! Will make again and again!

These noodles are so delicious! I love that it comes together so fast, and it's full of flavor.

These easy Korean spicy noodles are a little sweet, a little salty, and full of spice. Despite their depth of flavor, they come together in a quick 30 minutes and make for the perfect weeknight meal.

Easy Ram Don Jjapaguri recipe featuring Korean spicy noodles made in under 15 minutes with ribeye steak, ramen and udon noodles, and gochujang sauce.

8-Minute Jjapaguri (Easy Ram Don Korean Noodles)

jjajang black bean ramen (Chapagetti or Jjajangmen)

thick-cut ribeye steak

sesame oil

gochujang sauce

scallions

Salt and pepper

Set a large skillet and a medium saucepot on the stovetop. Pour 3 cups of water in the pot. Turn both on high heat.

Cut the ribeye steak into large ¾ -1 inch cubes. Cut out any large chunks of fat, but leave the marbled pieces intact. Salt and pepper the steak chunks liberally. Chop the scallions.

Place the sesame oil in the hot skillet. Once the oil is hot, sear the steak pieces for 2-3 minutes, rotating every minute, until they are cooked to medium-rare. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, when the water starts boiling, open the noodle packages and drop the noodles into the boiling water. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until almost cooked through. (It might seem like there’s not enough water, but just stir and flip the noodles until they loosen into the liquid.)

Once the noodles are mostly soft, add all the seasoning packets. (If you are sensitive to sodium, use the full black bean seasoning packet and half of the spicy seafood packet.) Add in 1-2 teaspoons of Gochujang hot sauce. Stir and simmer another minute to thicken the sauce.

Finally, mix the seared steak and the pan juices into the noodles. Stir to coat the beef in sauce. Top with fresh scallions and serve warm.

I tried your recipe and slightly modified it by adding more ingredients. I had left over julienned cucumber and carrot as well as omelette from the kimbap I made. I just cut the omelette into strips, and all these went into the bibim guksu. It&rsquo;s quite delicious! Thank you!

Comment by Tarasden on March 5, 2021

Hi Maangchi! I have tried a couple of your recipes before and they have all been fantastic. I now live in Mazatlan, Mexico (from Canada) and it is difficult to find supplies here. I am also currently following the KETO diet which adds to the search. So, I&#039;m trying this recipe tonight with bulgogi but using spaghetti squash in place of the noodles. I&#039;ve substituted any sugars with Swerve brown sugar sweetener and Monk fruit sweetener. I didn&#039;t have cucumber which my husband doesn&#039;t like anyway and substituted with sliced red peppers. Well it all turned out really good. So good in fact it is now my favorite way to eat spaghetti squash. Definitely recommend for any of your followers who can&#039;t eat regular noodles. Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful recipes!

Mummm !!! Faut aujourd&#039;hui sans oeuf. Un r&eacute;gal! !!!!

Comment by freldici on June 10, 2020

Here is another quick and delicious recipe made with fermented kimchi: bibim-guksu, cold spicy noodles. It&#039;s one of my favorites, so I make it often. If I don&#039;t make these noodles for a while, I really have a craving for them. This recipe is really quick to make. The first thing I do is boil some water in a large pot for the egg and noodles. Then I chop some kimchi and mix it together with the seasonings. Cooking noodles is the last step because they go soggy fast so after rinsing and draining the cooked noodles, I quickly mix them with the kimchi and seasonings by hand, and then serve and eat immediately. All my Korean friends and my family love these noodles, they are always a big hit and a really good way to feed a lot of people quickly and simply (as long as they like spicy food). This recipe is for a single serving so you can easily multiply the ingredients to make a bigger batch. I made it with my reader Susanne in Rotterdam during my Gapshida tour in 2011 and we served 30 people! Many of you make kimchi on a regular basis, so I hope you enjoy this recipe if you&#039;ve never tried it before. You will love it! Ingredients. For 1 serving 4 ounces (about 110 grams) somyeon (thin wheat noodles) 4 ounces fermented kimchi, chopped. &frac14; cup kimchi brine (or cold water) 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean fermented hot pepper paste) 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) 1 garlic clove, minced. &frac12; cup worth cucumber, cut into matchsticks. 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, ground. 1 half-boiled egg (or hard-boiled egg) Directions. Combine kimchi, kimchi brine, gochujang, sugar (if used), garlic, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Mix well with a spoon. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. Stir them with a wooden spoon and cover. Cook for about 3 minutes 30 seconds. Only a minute into the cooking, it may start boiling over. Just stir the noodles and crack the lid. Taste a sample to see if the noodles are nicely cooked or not. The noodles should be chewy but without anything hard inside. Drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse them in cold running water until they are cold and no longer slippery. Drain well and add to the kimchi mixture. Mix everything well and transfer to a large bowl. Add the cucumber and the egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds over top. Serve right away. Kimchi bibim-guksu and Eomukguk (fishcake soup)
