How to make Tantanmen Ramen (with a Costco Chicken)

In this video I attempt to make a Japanese style Tantanmen (担々麺). This dish probably came to Japan as the Chinese Dandan noodle but was evolved into a spicy, creamy ramen-like dish. They still have something more similar to the Chinese Dandan noodle in Japan but its called 'Shirunashi Tantanmen' (汁なし担々麺）or in English, 'Tantanmen without soup'.
Prior to this attempt, I had never eaten Tantanmen so it required quite a bit of research. I found some recipes and videos online but none of them had exact quantities. I had to make a couple of bowls to get the ratios to somewhere that I thought was ok. Feel free to adjust the ratios to a taste you like. I also cut the chimajan with tahini in my final bowl so that may be something to try as well.

It’s actually so adorable to see how bouillon get emulsified after you put the noodle in it!

I loved it. You can see all the effort. Not just store-bought stuff, and that's so relieving (because where I live there are no asian stores whatsoever).

[@Shutendoji]

This is very interesting. I used to live in Sichuan province so I've had my share of Dandan noodles. This is quite different from the Chinese original, which has a lot less sauce. It's basically a dry noodle dish, but it also comes with the chili oil (like basically everything edible in Sichuan), bok choy and ground pork on top. Very good job, subscribed!

[@WayofRamen]

Thanks for checking out the video! In Japan the dish thats more similar to Chinese Dandan noodles is called "Soupless Tantanmen" lol

[@keitheats8838]

Thanks for crediting the Chinese as the origin of this dish, there is a lot of history in the ingredients as many of them are Chinese

[@WayofRamen]

Yes this is definitely the Japanese take on the Chinese dish. Ramen itself is considered Chinese food in Japan as it is the Japanese take on Chinese noodle soups.

[@doc8125]

@@WayofRamen lots of Japanese cooking is very Chinese inspired, it's really interesting to see all of those and see how the Japanese take changes the dish

I’m a big Sichuan food fan. For getting a more authentic taste, try adding some Sichuan peppercorns into the chilli oil, they have a very unique fragrance scent.

[@WayofRamen]

I'll need to try to find those. Thanks!

[@touayaaj84]

Sichuan peppercorn flavor only comes out if you pan sear it first.

[@skatastik101]

@@touayaaj84 yes this, you will need to toast them to bring out the oils and that numbing effect you get from Sichuan peppercorns.

[@VanGoWanderlust]

I was going to say, the Sichuan peppercorns are key. You can also use sansho pepper if you an find it (same family of pepper).

[@Ver.g0sh]

@@VanGoWanderlust yeah I was going to say the same thing. Japanese use sansho (aka prickly ash) for the numbing factor of tantanmen. I'd almost say it's a requirement for this dish as it's sichuan influenced. You need that mala balance of spicy and numbing.

definitely my favorite type of ramen. extra chili oil in the soup really hits the spot. certain places i''ve been to was more on the soupy side, slighly creamy but the best ones are the ones that is on the border of soup and stew. similar to how thai curry is. but i wouldnt mind if the soup gets any more thicker than that

i am no ramen expert, or even cooking expert, but i'm wondering: would the meat topping be better if you let it get some browning? you are constantly stirring it while cooking. if you put it in the pan and don't touch it for a few minutes, you can get a brown crust on some of those bits of brown pork for more maillard reaction goodness.

To really get the collagen and gelatin out of chicken feet over a regular stove takes a whole day and you'll be surprised how much you can get out of just 5 or 6. It totally solidifies in the fridge. The fastest way to do it is in an Instant Pot for a minimum of an hour - 2 hours to really extract everything from the bones and get a super silky thick stock.

Why do I keep watching way of Ramen when I know I won't be making any of these recipe anytime soon. 🤔

[@Plantgrowth]

Just a quick question. Do you actually use the ginger and the green onion in the oil that was mixed with the chili flakes for anything at all, or are they just tossed in the garbage? Actually that same question would go for all the aroma oils and all things similar where ingredients are used for adding in the flavour.

It depends, sometimes I reuse the aromatics to make a kogashi topping, sometimes I just throw them away

Two things that are suggestions more than corrections. Chinese style negi abura is only done with rapeseed oil. It's also done until the negi is really really dark. Bordering burned. You should try it. Also Japanese chili I've had tastes like it uses gochugaru which is a more mild Korean pepper powder. Tastes more authentic imo. If you want an authentic Chinese chili oil you need to use szechuan er jing tao chilis. Just smth to think about.

[@WayofRamen]

Thanks! I'll give it all a try! Rapeseed is canola right?

[@chromecoconut]

@@WayofRamen Yup. Though the Chinese use a cold pressed virgin version that's very very hard to find.
