Have you heard of Dan Dan Ramen?
Dan Dan is spicy peanut sauce that goes well usually with any noodles from egg noodles, udon noodles, to rice noodles. Anyone feels like eating rice today? This peanut sauce recipe tastes really so so sooooo good when it comes together with brown rice!
It's creamy, a bit spicy, and peanuty. I believe everyone would love this sauce. If you're not a fan of sicy food, you can adjust the spiciness to your taste!

Originally this recipe was inspired by my lovely co-worker's dan dan sauce and I veganized it. I found it pretty easy to make and so delicious! Like I can't stop eating it haha

On the left in the picture, there's a bunch of little tiny brownish thing. This is my homemade soy meat made from dried tofu called Koya tofu.

You can find it at a Japanese grocery store or asian grocery store, if there's any around you. But if you can't find it, you can substitute that with regular tofu. Freeze completely first, then thaw to drain as much water as possible by squeezing.
This recipe is the best one so far that looks like real meat and has similar texture to meat.

This is my go-to nut butter brand made in Canada!

Why do I love this products?
Because:

  1. Natural
  2. Organic
  3. Non-GMO
  4. No artificial flavors or chemical ingredients
  5. Canadian! Since I'm living in Canada, I'd love to choose Canadian brands when available!

Alright,
Here's the recipe card.
I hope you like this recipe as much as I do!
