Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • By placing the bok choy under the hot noodles without blanching it separately, its crispiness is maximized as it wilts from the noodles' residual heat.
  • Rinsing Hong Kong noodles with cold water can cause the sauce to slide off, so drain them and mix immediately while hot for the best flavor integration.
  • The stir-fried tantanmen meat sauce can be made in a larger batch, stored in an airtight container, and is also delicious served over udon noodles or rice.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a unique, spicy, and savory mixed noodle dish without broth.
  • Those who want to create a high-quality meal as easily and quickly as ramen using store-bought sauce.
  • Those who want to enjoy the harmonious texture of crisp bok choy and chewy Hong Kong noodles.
