  • Let’s Cook: Soy Milk Tantanmen
  • Chewy, delicious ramen noodles noodles and ground pork swimming in a rich, creamy broth with a fiery kick from chili oil and a mellow nuttiness from soy milk and peanut butter.

    Tantanmen is a dish that combines the savory and spicy sesame broth with added chili, mixed with sauteed ground pork, served with ramen noodles. It is quite different from other varieties such as tonkotsu ramen, for example, due to to its spiciness. While traditional Japanese ramen focuses on rich broths and bold flavors, tantanmen focuses predominantly on the spice factor.

    Here’s a 15-minute recipe that utilizes ingredients you will find in your pantry or at the nearest grocery and highlights soy milk as the star of the dish.
