Tantanmen is a Japanese take on Dan Dan Noodles, a Sichuan cuisine. While Dan Dan Noodles are usually soup-less, Tantanmen can be with or without soup. The common ingredients used for Tantanmen are sesame paste and soy milk, which mellows the spiciness and gives a nutty sweet flavor. Because sesame paste can be hard to find, we recommend trying peanut butter! Peanut butter is a good alternative for a nutty creamy flavor. Tantanmen can be easy, so try this recipe using our Signature Spicy Miso Ramen!
