Instructions
- 1
In a wide pan, brown the ground beef over high heat for 5 minutes without breaking it up too much; add the crushed garlic and grated ginger and turn for 30 seconds.
5 min05:30 - 2
Add half of the soy sauce, the brown sugar, and the vinegar, then cook for 2 minutes more until the liquid is absorbed; set the beef aside as the topping.
2 min02:00 - 3
For the soup, put the tahini in a large bowl and whisk it with the remaining soy sauce, salt, and beef fat until smooth.
- 4
Heat the chicken broth in a separate pot until near boiling, without boiling it; whisk it into the tahini mixture to make a smooth soup.
6 min06:00 - 5
Boil the ramen noodles according to the package time and drain; blanch the pak choi or spinach in boiling water for 30 seconds.
4 min04:00 - 6
Divide the tahini soup among serving bowls; top with noodles, beef topping, blanched greens, scallion rings, and chili oil, then serve hot.
💡 Tip: Warm the tahini broth without boiling it; too much boiling makes the sesame aroma bitter. Small amounts of sugar and vinegar build the umami balance, keeping the classic tantanmen sweet-savory-spicy trio in line.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve topped with thinly sliced scallions, extra chili oil, and a boiled egg.
