"Bao Bei's dan dan noodles are the sesame-chilli dressed noodles with minced pork, preserved vegetables, and crispy garlic that earned this restaurant its devoted following. The sesame paste is from a specific source, the minced pork is cooked with the specific technique that gives it a crumble rather than a grind, and the crispy garlic adds texture.
