Great recipe. FYI we made this vegetarian by using Morningstar farms "ground beef" and vegan oyster sauce. It turned out very well.

These were terrific. My husband and I are fighting to see who will get the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I left out the oyster sauce, b/c I never have it in the house. Everything else, I did as written. These were so good. I can't say how authentic they were, as I haven't had the restuarant version in a long time, but they were so gosh darn good. We will eat them often. Thanks for posting.

I LOVE PF Chang's Dan Dan Noodles and my husband wanted to surprise me and try out this recipe! I think it was about as close to the PF Chang recipe as it can get! We added almost 5 times the amount of chili paste because we like our dan dan FIERY.
