10-minute EASY Tantanmen!

Can you believe you can make homemade ramen, from scratch, at home, in 10 minutes? Dare I say, “YASSSSSSSSSS!!” 🤣

This easy tantanmen is actually better than the real one- takes hours to make. It has as deep and thick flavor as the real one but much lighter on your body. Also takes only 10 minutes, who can resist?

It’s creamy, silky, spicy, fatty, everything you want from tantanmen ramen!

Tantanmen is Japanese ramen version of dandanmian (dandan noodles), a noodle dish originating from Chinese Sichuan cuisine. It’s much smoother and easier to adopt Sichuan flavor, so you must try!
