    Dan Dan actually means “carrying pole”, it is called Biandan in Mandarin, but People in Sichuan call it Dandan. Dandan mian used to be a street food in Sichuan province. Sellers carried the noodle with a carrying pole and sold it on streets. That is how it got such a name, carrying pole noodle. BTW, Mian means flour, Miantiao means noodle, but people just call noodle Mian for short. Dandan Mian is a Sichuan local food, you can hardly find it outside Sichuan province.

    • @zhengyunli800
      @zhengyunli800 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @@tommihommi1 Shenzhen is the silicon valley of China, so it is also a city of immigration. People go there for money, you don't have to force people to go somewhere that has many opportunities of earning money. I guess Shenzhen has a lot of people from Sichuan so perhaps Dandan mian is also popular there. BTW, BYD, DJI, Huawei, Xiaomi, Tencent, these big names' headquarters are all in Shenzhen.

    @erickeenan7562 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I have made this at home several times before watching this video. It is so good and ATK really does a great job. The ONLY thing I do different is to go through a much more elaborate and classic preparation for the chinese chili oil. But, that being said, I was afraid they would not put in the fermented/dried mustard greens in the pork topping, AND THEY DID IT. It really is essential and there really is no substitute. Despite living in a highly Asian subdivision of Seattle...those mustard greens sometimes are unavailble in the Chinese supermarket. Order them online! No substitute for the black vinegar or the toasted sesame seed paste either. "Shoaxing Wine"...dry sherry does just fine, but it tends to be a bit more expensive.

      Lan's been with ATK's Cook's Illustrated for more than a decade and is currently a Senior Editor. That's her day job, but you can see her toiling away in the background of both ATK and Cook’s Country TV shows for a number of seasons. In 2017, she joined the cast of Cook's Country and moved to the ATK TV show in 2018, so she's been a part of the cast for several years. You can still see her occasionally in the ATK back kitchen when she's not presenting a recipe - that's where all the real cooking for the show takes place.
