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.

Pro Tip: Double the sauce recipe and it'll keep for a few weeks in the fridge. Simply let it come to room temperature and give it a good stir before using again!
