I love chinese food and have tried a lot of different places - Changs has a dish called DanDan Noodles - spicy ground chicken with noodles, cucumber and carrots - exceptional!
we are so pathetic, the girls and i will go and order 5 dishes when there are only three of us, because we like what we like and we want to have some of all of it. So we spend $70 for lunch, but there are tons of leftovers and xsboy isn’t usually with us, but he loves it too. our normal dishes are dandan noodles, changs spicy chicken, kung pao chicken/shrimp, mushu pork. It is always a drag if we go with someone who doesn’t like spicy chinese bc almost all that we like is spicy/ we went with my brother and his family when they were in town and they loved it, but ordered the more bland stuff/.
As much as I love Chinese food, I actually prefer Thai, Vietnamese or Japanese.
Your DanDan Noodles dish sounds very similar to a Thai dish I love, the difference being it is beef, not chicken.
The ground meats of oriental cooking are so different than what we consider “ground” meat. It is more of a mince than anything.
