Dan dan noodles

Method

Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, drain and set aside. Heat oil in a wok, fry the minced pork until cooked through, then add garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. In a bowl, whisk together sesame paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chilli oil, and stock to create the sauce, adjusting seasoning with salt. Toast the Sichuan peppercorns in a dry pan for 30 seconds, then crush lightly. Divide the cooked noodles between bowls, top with the pork mixture, pour the warm sauce over, and sprinkle with crushed peppercorns, peanuts, spring onions, and coriander.
