DanDan Mian — Fresh Sichuan Noodles in Martigny
DanDan Mian (担担面) is one of the most iconic dishes of Sichuan cuisine. These fresh noodles, coated in a creamy sesame sauce and topped with spicy minced pork, take their name from the street vendors who once carried them on a carrying pole (dàn). At Rêve Saveur, we prepare them with wheat noodles extruded to order and a soft-boiled egg half infused 24h in black tea.
The Origin of DanDan Mian
Born on the streets of Chengdu, DanDan Mian was originally an affordable street food. Vendors carried a pole with noodles on one side and sauce on the other — hence the name "dandan" (carrying pole). Today, it's a classic of Sichuan gastronomy, prized for its balance between the creaminess of sesame sauce and the savoriness of spicy minced pork.
