Cooking tips

  • If you have pickled vegetables commonly used in Chinese cuisine—such as 'ya cai' (zha cai)—wash them, remove excess moisture, and stir-fry them with the meat for an even more authentic flavor.
  • For the authentic thick, concentrated taste of TanTan noodles, aim for a slightly dry broth rather than overly watery. Adjust water to about 250–300ml.
  • Using just one pan—cooking the meat, blanching the cabbage, and making the broth—reduces cleanup and allows the savory essence of the meat oil to fully enrich the broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who love the pungent heat of malatang paired with the rich, nutty depth of peanut butter.
  • Home cooks looking to make restaurant-quality TanTan noodles with minimal steps.
