Introduction
This cold, soupless Dan Dan noodle dish uses ground sesame seeds and soy milk to easily recreate a rich, creamy flavor without needing sesame paste. The chewy, flat noodles are chilled in ice water and tossed in a savory stir-fried meat miso and a spicy sauce, creating a dish so delicious you won't be able to put your chopsticks down.

Heat a frying pan without oil, add the ground pork (60g), miso (1 tsp), and Ajishio (to taste), and stir-fry until slightly browned and crispy.

Important Notes
🔥 Since fat will render from the ground pork, there is no need to add oil when stir-frying.
⚠️ To prevent the sauce from becoming diluted, be sure to wring out the water from the chilled noodles thoroughly before tossing them with the sauce.
💡 By chilling the bowl used to make the sauce in the refrigerator, the dish will stay colder and taste even better when the noodles are added.
