Begin by preparing the sauce. In a noodle bowl, combine the soy sauce, Chinese vinegar, Cookingbomb Chili sauce, hot Pork bone stock (or hot water), chopped green onions, a pinch of salt, melted lard (or sesame oil), and crushed peanuts. Mix everything together until well combined.
In a separate wok or skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and the star anise. Stir-fry the pork for about 30 seconds until it starts to sizzle.
Pour in the Chinese cooking wine and continue cooking until the pork turns opaque and begins to brown slightly.
Add the preserved vegetable, yacai, and continue stir-frying until the pork becomes slightly crispy. Remove the pork mixture from the wok and set it aside.
Cook the fresh handmade noodles or dried Chinese noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Drain the noodles and place them in the noodle bowl with the prepared sauce.
Sprinkle the cooked pork and preserved vegetable mixture on top of the noodles.
Serve the Dan Dan Noodles hot. Before eating, use chopsticks to mix the meat topping, noodles, and sauce until everything is evenly distributed.
