Steps to make Chicken Dan Dan noodles:
- Boil the spaghetti in water as per the instructions on the package. Drain and set aside.
- Make chilli oil by heating the oil in a wok. Once hot add in the other spices listed and switch off flame. Let it seep and soak in flavour for few minutes.
- Prepare the chicken minced as follows. In a pan heat oil. Saute the chicken in it. Add the sauces, ginger garlic paste and the spices listed above. Stir for three to four minutes. Do not overcook. Chicken will become dry if you do.

A little brown sugar adds a sweet element, while the peanut butter brings it all together in one wonderfully creamy, hearty bowl of Dan Dan Peanut Noodles with Chicken. Dandan in the name actually refers to a carrying pole(扁担 in Chinese ). In the past, the vendors carried the noodles and the sauces to sell them on the street.
