black sesame dan dan noodles
Konichiwa, it's Nami from Just one cookbook.
Today, I'm making my version of Japanese Black Sesame Tan Tan Men or Kuro Goma Tan Tan Men.
They are many ways to make this dish and you can enjoy cold or hot.
Mr. JOC likes his Black Sesame Tan Tan Men with hot broth, but I like it cold.
So I made this recipe in two ways.
Black sesame paste might be hard to find, but you can try finding on Amazon or Japanese grocery stores.
If you cannot find it, just use Tahini sauce instead.
Now, let's get started.
combine 1/2 cup ( 120 ml ) unsweetened soy milk and 1-1/2 Tbsp black sesame paste
dissolve the sesame paste
transfer the mixture to the pot
add 2 cups ( 480 ml ) chicken broth,
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce,
1 tsp sugar
heat up the soup, mix and taste the soup
add 1/2 tsp kosher salt
chill the soup for cold tan tan noodle
grate 1 clove garlic
grate 1 knob ginger
heat 1 Tbsp sesame oil over medium heat
cook the grated garlic and ginger until fragrant
add 6 oz ( 170 g ) ground pork
add 1 tsp sake
stir well
add 1/4 tsp black pepper,
2 tsp Tianmianjiang ( sweet bean sauce ),
1 tsp Doubanjiang ( spicy chili bean sauce ),
1 tsp soy sauce,
1 tsp sugar,
stir and coat the meat with the sauce
grind1 Tbsp peanuts
grind 1 Tbsp black sesame seeds ( roasted )
cut 4 scallions
cut the white parts into julienned strips
soak in iced water
chop the green parts of green onion into fine rounds
cut 1 bok choy into quarters lengthwise
blanch bok choy for 2~3 minutes
add ½ cup bean sprouts
boil for 15 seconds
12 oz ( 2 servings ) dan dan noodles
cook according to package instructions
chill for cold dan dan noodle ( 1 serving )
prepare the cold and hot dan dan noodles the same way
use cold broth for chilled noodles
place toppings
garnish with black sesame seeds, peanuts, and green onion
add fried garlic chips
drizzle 2 tsp la-yu (Japanese chili oil)
enjoy!
