About Tantanmen ramen
Tantanmen Ramen is a Japanese adaptation of Sichuan-style Dan Dan noodles, known for its rich, spicy, and creamy broth made with sesame paste and chili oil, and often paired with wheat noodles, minced pork, and various toppings such as greens or soft-boiled eggs. It is a calorie-dense dish due to its combination of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, typically providing 500–700 calories per serving. It offers a balanced macronutrient profile with a notable amount of protein from the meat and egg, fats from sesame paste and oils, and carbohydrates from the noodles, while also offering micronutrients like iron, zinc, and some B vitamins from the pork and whole sesame seeds.
