Dan Dan Noodles
A Chengdu street-stall classic: thin wheat noodles tossed in a lush sauce of sesame paste, chili oil, and pickled mustard greens, topped with savory pork crumbles. Myrcene's earthy warmth amplifies the sesame depth.

Cooking tips
- Use Chinese sesame paste, not tahini — the roast level is different.
- The noodle water is the secret: it emulsifies the sauce.
- Add a soft-boiled egg for extra richness.

Myrcene — in your strain and on your plate
Myrcene is the most common terpene in cannabis and the engine behind many indica-style sedating effects. Earthy and herbaceous, it loves rich, slow-cooked, comforting foods.
