This easy soupless Tantanmen Ramen recipe (a.k.a. Tsuyunashi Tantanmen - 汁なし坦々麺) comes together in about 15 minutes, and yet it’s bursting with flavor thanks to a few umami hacks. With thick ramen noodles tossed in a rich nutty sesame taré topped with spicy pork stir-fried with caramelized aromatics, this spicy ramen tastes far more complex than it is.
