Richly spiced and deeply flavoured Dan Dan noodles, featuring the best of New Zealand lamb. The Szechuan peppercorns give this dish their classic numbing flavour and the chilli oil helps bring the heat.

Method
Remove Silver Fern Farms Lamb Loin Fillets from the fridge and packaging and allow to bloom at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Prepare a marinade using hoisin sauce, tamari sauce and five spice powder.
Pour over the Lamb Loin Fillets and set aside.
To make the Dan Dan sauce, add tahini or sesame paste, tamari sauce, garlic, sugar, five spice powder and Szechuan pepper into a food processor, blend until smooth.
Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions.
In the meantime, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Blanch the bok choy for 1 min, then put it directly into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Bring a pan to medium heat and cook Lamb Loin Fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side.
Rest for 5 minutes before slicing each fillet against the grain.
In a small pot, bring the chicken stock to a boil.
To serve, add 1 Tbsp Dan Dan sauce, 50ml chicken stock and 1 Tbsp chili oil to each bowl. Mix together and add noodles, bok choy, spring onions and Lamb Loin Fillets. Finish with roasted peanuts and fresh coriander.
Repeat with the other bowls and serve.
