Are Dan Dan noodles a Sichuan specialty? Is it true that you will never get tired of eating it?

DanDanMian is a traditional noodle dish that is very popular and has a special flavor in Sichuan, which is made by boiling handmade noodles, adding Sichuan Yibin sprouts as the main ingredient, and combining them with noodles and other seasonings, and is characterized by thin and smooth noodles, crispy noodles, fragrant soup, and salty and slightly spicy.

Early dan dan noodles did not refer to the flavor or the shape of the noodles, but to the way of selling the noodles, which were often sold by hawkers, hence the name dan dan noodles. According to legend, dan dan noodles originated in 1841 by a peddler nicknamed Chen Bao Bao in Zigong, Sichuan Province (now Zigong City), and then spread to Chengdu and other parts of Sichuan. Due to the long history of dan dan noodles, there are slight differences in production and seasoning across the country. Chongqing and Zigong still maintain the original vegetarian flavor of dan dan noodles, while Chengdu adds pork crispy bacon on top of the original vegetarian noodles to make it more unique. Sichuan feasts will often be used as a seat of dan dan noodles and the hall of elegance.
