Instant Noodles just got a whole lot more exciting with our take on the classic Sichuan dish of Dan Dan noodles. Slippery, wiggly noodles coated in fiery chilli oil and crispy, hard-fried sausages (in the place of pork mince for extra flavour). You have to try these!

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Place a pan of water onto the stove and bring to the boil. Remove the sausages from their skins and break the meat up into small pieces. Finely slice the spring onions.

Step 2

Place a large wok or non-stick frying pan onto a high-heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the torn sausage meat and hard fry with the five spice for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and caramelised. It should resemble minced meat in appearance.

Step 3

Add the chilli oil (to taste, this one has some heat!), soy sauce, spring onions and chopped peanuts (if using). Allow the soy to boil before turning down the heat to low.

Step 4

Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into florets and steam over the boiling noodle water for 3-4 minutes until just soft.

Step 5

Add the instant noodles to the boiling water (you don't need to use the seasoning sachet) and boil for 1 minute. Drain the noodles and add them to the sausages. Heat through for a further 30 seconds to allow the noodles to get nice and hot and well coated in the sauce and sausage meat. Serve with the steamed broccoli drizzled with a little more of the spicy chilli oil. Enjoy!
