Din Tai Fung - Spicy Pork Wonton Noodles Remake
This is one of my first, and most popular recipes!
If you know me, you know that I LOVE Din Tai Fung and always order the same thing when I go - the spicy pork wonton noodles so when I started my food blog, I knew i had to re-create this recipe.
This recipe is packed full of spice and flavour, it uses my Chilli oil recipe and in my opinion is pretty close to the real deal!
This recipe also includes how I make my dumplings, so if you are just after a dumpling recipe then use this! If you love dumplings, be sure to also check out my wonton soup recipe!
There is nothing better than dumplings and noodles in a spicy sauce, so I hope you love it!
