Dan dan noodles started as a Chengdu street food. The dish is more approachable without the fiery Sichuan spicing of the original. You'll retain the meaty comforts and the smooth and crunchy peanut richness, tumbled with highly slurpable fresh strands.

Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 5 to 7 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.
- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
Cook the beef & bok choy
- In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the white bottoms of the scallions and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the beef; season with ½ the spices. Cook, breaking up the meat, 3 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the bok choy and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until wilted and the beef* is cooked through; season with S&P.
Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter, ponzu, remaining spices and ½ the reserved cooking water.
Combine the noodles & serve
- To the pan, add the noodles and sauce.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until reduced and combined; season with S&P.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Garnish with the green tops of the scallions and peanuts. Bon appétit!
