Ingredients
Nikumiso Topping
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 50 grams ground pork
- 2 teaspoons Tianmian sauce (or hoisin sauce)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Sesame Taré
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (7 grams ground)
- 1 ½ tablespoons Tahini
- 1 teaspoon rayu (or other chili oil)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Tantanmen Broth
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 25 grams ground pork
- 20 grams scallion stems (2 stems, minced)
- 5 grams ginger (grated)
- 5 grams garlic (grated)
- ¼ teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons doubanjiang
- 1 ½ cups low sodium chicken stock
For Serving
- 130 grams fresh ramen noodles
- spinach (or mustard greens)
Instructions
- Mix the Tianmian sauce and soy sauce into the ground pork to marinate.
- Grind the toasted sesame seeds using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder and add them to your serving bowl along with the tahini, rayu, and toasted sesame oil.
- Set a pot of water on the stove to boil. When the water comes to a boil, blanch the spinach or mustard greens, chill in cold water, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Do not drain the boiling water.
- To make the Nikumiso, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated ground pork and stir-fry, using a spatula to break up the pork into small crumbs. When the meat is cooked, transfer it out of the pan and into a bowl.
- Put the pan back on the heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the remaining 25 grams of ground pork, minced scallion stems, ginger, and garlic. Stir-fry the mixture, breaking up the pork into small crumbles with a spatula.
- When the meat is cooked, add the Sichuan pepper, soy sauce, and doubanjiang. Continue stir-frying until all of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture starts to brown.
- Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Turn down the heat to keep the soup warm.
- Boil the ramen noodles according to the package directions.
- When the noodles are almost done, turn up the heat on the soup to return it to a boil. Whisk the hot soup into the sesame sauce in the serving bowl.
- Drain the ramen and add it to the soup.
- Top the Tantanmen with the Nikumiso and garnish with mustard greens and scallions.
