Spicy Dan Dan-Style Tofu Udon
A Sichuan classic, these fiery dan dan noodles aren’t for the faint of heart. You’ll crisp up tofu in Chinese 5 spice and soy before adding udon noodles and coating the lot in a sticky-spicy dan dan sauce. Now that packs a punch.
You supply: vegetable oil, salt, water. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Spicy Dan Dan-Style Tofu Udon changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
