Ingredients
- 250 grams Rice noodles
- 200 grams Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chili oil
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons White miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 120 milliliters Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, ground
- 2 cups Bok choy, chopped

Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground chicken to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped bok choy and cook until wilted, another 2-3 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together chili oil, tahini, white miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, and chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken and bok choy.
Sprinkle ground Sichuan peppercorns over the mixture and let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Incorporate the cooked rice noodles into the pan, tossing well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
Divide the noodles into bowls, garnishing each with chopped green onions and crushed peanuts for added texture and crunch.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your soy-free Dan Dan Noodles with a flavor-packed kick!
