Dan Dan Mian Sichuan Spicy Noodles

I wouldn't classify it as burning, but it was pretty tasty! The original recipe from here: http://appetiteforchina.com/recipes/dan-dan-mian-sichuan-spicy-noodles calls for waaaay too much salt. On top of the salt in the soy sauce and chicken stock, it says to add 3 whole teaspoons. I only added 2 and if i make it again, i'll only put in 1/2tsp. The recipe below reflects this.

Steps

Combine pork and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well.
Heat a wok or large skillet until hot.
Stir-fry , stirring with a spatula to break it into small pieces.
When the pork is lightly browned , about 3 minutes , remove and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to boil.
While the water is heating , go to the next step.
Reheat the wok and stir-fry the garlic , ginger , and onions until aromatic , about 1 minute.
Add peanut butter , soy sauce , chilli oil , sesame oil , sichuan pepper , salt , and chicken stock and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
Meanwhile , when the pot of water has come to boil , toss in noodles and cook according to package directions.
Drain well.
To serve , divide noodles into individual bowls or put them all into a large bowl for sharing.
Ladle the sauce on top , top with pork and chopped peanuts , and serve while hot.
