Zhajiang, Zajiangmian, Dan Dan Noodles - Pork Sauce Help

Daikon is a kind of radish.

@J_L ?

Daikon is in the radish genus, though radishes and turnips are in the same family.
But @J_L clarified that he uses daikon for his ragu. That said, I had good luck just using up the rest of my Tokyo turnips.

Interestingly, turnip cakes (lo bak go) use . . . daikon radish.

Traditional Dan Dan Noodles from Sichuan China must have the following ingredients:

  1. Yibin Yacai (preserved mustard)
  2. Sesame Paste
  3. Stir-fried Crispy Ground Pork
  4. Chili Oil

I will share a recipe later from a chef who has been working in Sichuan China, Singapore and US for over 30 years,
