00:00This warming sirenashi tantanmen captures the spicy, nutty flavours of tantan ramen without the soup.
00:09First, take your serving bowls and in each one, add half teaspoon of soy sauce,
00:14half teaspoon of Chinese style chicken bouillon powder, half teaspoon of toasted sesame oil,
00:21half teaspoon of chili oil, one tablespoon of unsweetened soy milk,
00:26and one tablespoon of ground sesame seeds.
00:29If you're making a lot of portions, you can multiply the ingredients,
00:33mix them in a jug, and divide them between the balls equally.
00:37Once it's mixed, set aside for later.
00:41Next, we're going to make the seasoned pork, so heat a wok over medium,
00:45and add one teaspoon of cooking oil.
00:48Once it's hot, add quarter of an onion, one to two garlic cloves,
00:54and about one teaspoon of ginger, all finely diced.
01:01Once they're fragrant, add 150 grams of ground pork,
01:06and season it with a pinch of some pepper.
01:11Fry down until it's browned all over.
01:17Then add one and half tablespoon of yellow miso paste,
01:21half tablespoon of tobanjan chili bean sauce,
01:24one tablespoon of sake,
01:26one teaspoon of sugar,
01:28and 30 grams of roughly crushed cashew nuts.
01:32I love the texture of the cashew nuts in this recipe. If you prefer, you could use peanuts here instead.
01:38You could also add some chilis or extra tobanjan if you want it extra spicy.
01:43Mix it until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed, then take off the heat.
01:50Finally, boil your ramen noodles according to the instructions on the packaging.
01:55Always do this last to ensure the noodles have the best texture when served.

02:07Once the ramen is al dente, drain the water and rinse them with fresh water to clean off the excess
02:13starch,
02:14then place them over the tare we prepared earlier.
02:22Place a generous amount of spicy seasoned pork on the top.
02:30I like to serve it with some soft boiled eggs,
02:34and some broccoli sprouts for a proper colour.
02:39And that's it, delicious tan tan ramen without the soup.
02:43Make sure you mix it well before eating and enjoy.
