Main dish
Japanese tantanmen ramen goes back to Chinese dan dan noodles. You serve ramen noodles in a spicy broth with chili paste and top them with stir-fried ground meat, peanut butter and sesame. The soup tastes hot, nutty and slightly sweet.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 portions ramen noodles
- 400 g mixed ground meat (pork or chicken)
- 4 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
For the spicy broth:
- 1 liter chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin

Toppings (optional):

Instructions
Prepare the broth:
- Bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the soy sauce, mirin, sambal oelek, sugar, garlic and ginger. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors blend.
Prepare the meat:
- Heat the sesame oil in a skillet and fry the ground meat over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned. Add the scallions and fry for 2 more minutes. Stir in the peanut butter and toasted sesame seeds until everything is well combined.
Cook the ramen:
- Bring water to a boil in a separate pot and cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Assemble:
- Divide the cooked ramen noodles evenly among four bowls. Spoon the cooked meat over the noodles. Carefully pour the spicy broth over the meat and noodles.
Garnish with toppings:
- Garnish the tantanmen with boiled egg, bamboo shoots, nori sheets and fresh cilantro as you like.
