These vegan dan Dan noodles are as tasty as the original. The tender noodles are served in a rich sauce that is nutty, spicy, and extra fragrant, with a hint of sweetness. It also includes a vegan recipe for a flavorful “meaty” topping that tastes great and clings to the noodles. Be careful, this dish is addictively tasty! {Gluten-Free Adaptable}You can make the dish gluten-free by replacing the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos, replacing the Shaoxing wine with dry sherry, using rice vinegar instead of Chinkiang vinegar, and using rice noodles instead of wheat noodles. Note, rice vinegar is much milder and will give the dish a very different taste.
