If you like spicy noodle,then you have to try this easy soup noodle.
Traditionally, Tantan noodle soup made with sesami paste with pork broth and pork or beef mince on top.
Before I become vegan, this noodle was one of my favorite eat out dishes. fortunately, there is a restaurant that serves amazing vegan Tantan noodle in Tokyo called T's tantan. However, I'm back to Auckland now so I have to make the food that I miss from Japan.
I didn't have ramen noodles so I used Udon instead.
I think I added a bit too much TVP but I loved it!! I cooked TVP with garlic, ginger, chili paste and soy sauce so I wan't bored eating it even it was heaps of them in the soup.
