Description

A flavorful and easy-to-make dish, Slow Cooker Dan Dan Noodles combines ground pork with a savory sauce and noodles, all cooked to perfection in a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon white pepper
  • 8 ounces dried Chinese noodles (or spaghetti)
  • ¼ cup chopped peanuts
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the pork: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat.
  2. Combine ingredients: Transfer the pork to the slow cooker and add chicken broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, chili oil, and white pepper. Stir to mix well.
  3. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Prepare the noodles: About 15 minutes before serving, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Mix everything together: Add the cooked noodles to the slow cooker and stir well to coat them in the sauce. Let sit for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped peanuts, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust spice levels by adding more or less chili oil.
  • Swap ground pork for tofu or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat with a splash of broth to loosen the sauce.
