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.
I’ve seen the copycat recipe for dandan noodles and plan to try it one day.....For my TexMex stuff, I grind my taco meat before adding the sauce. Everyone makes fun of it until they try it themselves - then they come back and tell me how good it is!
