Ingredients
Cold Sesame Soup
- 3 tablespoons nerigoma (tahini will work)
- ½ cup low sodium chicken stock
- ½ cup soy milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
Spicy Beef Topping
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 10 grams garlic (1 large clove, grated)
- 8 grams ginger (small knob peeled & grated)
- ½ teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
- 2 teaspoons evaporated cane sugar
- 150 grams ground beef
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 1 tablespoon doubanjiang
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
For Serving Udon
- 2 ervings udon noodles
- 1 scallion (greens thinly chopped)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons Chili oil (to taste)
Instructions
- To make the cold sesame broth, add the nerigoma to a bowl and add a few tablespoons of the chicken stock. Stir the mixture until it forms a smooth paste, and then stir in a few more tablespoons of stock. Repeat until the mixture is smooth and pourable
- Add the remaining chicken stock, soy milk, and salt, and stir until the salt has dissolved. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the other components.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil for the udon noodles.
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about a minute until it's very fragrant.
- Add the Sichuan pepper and sugar and stir for a few seconds to combine.
- Add the ground beef and use the side of a spatula to break the meat up into small crumbles.
- When the beef is cooked, add the miso, doubanjiang, oyster sauce, and stir-fry until the seasonings are evenly distributed. Turn off the heat and set the spicy beef aside while you boil the noodles.
- Boil the noodles according to the package directions, and when they're done cooking, drain them and chill under cold running water. Dump the noodles into a bowl of ice water to thoroughly chill the udon and then drain thoroughly, removing any remaining chunks of ice.
- Divide the noodles between two bowls and then pour half of the chilled sesame broth over each bowl.
- Top each bowl of Tantan Udon with half of the spicy beef, half of the scallions, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds. Finish the cold sesame noodles with a drizzle of your favorite chili oil to taste.
