SZECHUAN NOODLES
This spicy Asian inspired dish is absolutely delicious. I saw this made on one of Ina Garten's cooking shows and immediately HAD to try it. I omitted the oil called for in the original recipe and replaced it with water instead. I also gave alternate ingredients to replace the honey as a sweetener in order to make this vegan friendly. Hope you like it!

DAN DAN MEIN (SPICY SZECHUAN NOODLES)
There are two versions of the origin of this name. "Dan Dan" is onomatopoetic for "clap clap" and supposedly refers to the noise made by street vendors in Szechuan as they hawk this tasty snack. Dandan are wooden buckets, one on each end of a pole carried across the shoulders, from which vendors sell Dan Dan Mein in the streets of Chengdu. This recipe is adapted from Mrs Chiang's Szechuan Cookbook. It calls for Szechuan peppercorns, called "huajiao" ("flower pepper") in Chinese, and these are what give Szechuan food its distinctive taste. They can be found in Chinese specialty groceries. Do not substitute with black peppercorns, cayenne pepper or red chili peppers. Furthermore, do not substitute Middle Eastern tahini paste for the rich Chinese toasted sesame paste. The two are not interchangeable, although peanut butter is an acceptable alternative in this recipe. For the hot chili oil, use a commercial brand, mince any good dried red chilies, or make you own as follows.

SZECHUAN NOODLES
This recipe comes from the cookbook The Ultimate Chinese and Asian Cookbook, with a few alterations on my part. Feel free to add cooked chicken or crab, or even vegetables. I usually double the sauce ingredients. I do not find these are spicy, so you may want to add in some red pepper flakes or ground Szechuan peppercorns if you want some heat. Preparation time is an estimate.

This is awesome and can be easily converted from meat-eating to vegetarian-friendly (for those 14 - 16 year olds that decided cows are unedible, if you know what I mean) - change out the meat with meatless burger...

Tips:
- Use Authentic Ingredients: To achieve the authentic Szechuan flavor, use high-quality ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorns, chili oil, and fermented bean paste. These ingredients are essential for creating the distinctive麻辣 (má là) flavor profile.
- Master the Art of Stir-Frying: Stir-frying is a key technique in Szechuan cooking. Heat your wok or large skillet over high heat and use a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Stir-fry the ingredients quickly and continuously to ensure even cooking and retain their texture and flavors.
- Balance the Flavors: Szechuan cuisine is known for its bold and complex flavors. To achieve a harmonious balance, incorporate a variety of flavors such as spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and umami. Use ingredients like vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil to create a well-rounded flavor profile.
- Don't Overcook the Noodles: When cooking the noodles, follow the package instructions carefully to prevent overcooking. Overcooked noodles become mushy and lose their texture. Cook the noodles until they are just al dente, with a slight bite to them.
- Garnish for Visual Appeal: Before serving, garnish your Szechuan noodles with fresh herbs like cilantro, scallions, or sesame seeds. This adds a pop of color, freshness, and enhances the overall presentation of the dish.
