Noodle dishes are loved by people of all ages due to the variety of recipes and the advantage of being able to easily cook a meal. Among them, “tantan-myeon,†which has a spicy, savory, and dual appeal, is attracting attention from noodle lovers. “Dantan-myeon†is a typical dish from the Sichuan region. It is a noodle dish that uses broth made from pork bones or chicken, and is eaten by grating crushed peanuts, sesame sauce, bok choy, and stir-fried pork into a homemade broth. Although it is a Chinese-style dish, it is well known in Korea for its Japanese ramen style “tantanmen.†From authentic “tantan noodles †to Japanese “tantan noodles,†we will
introduce the best 5 restaurants that are both
spicy and savory.

“Dantan-myeonâ€
specialty store “Dalshita, noodles†is located near Seongsu Station. The small entrance and cute exterior make you feel like you've visited a ramen shop in Japan. The signature menu for over 20 hours is “Seongsu-dong tantan-myeon,†a Szechuan-style Japanese ramen that uses broth made from pork bones and chicken bones. It is
seasoned and stir-fried pork soboro, served with tender arongsas, and savory noodles made by grinding nuts
yourself. It is famous for its rich flavor like “tonkotsu ramen†because the color of the soup is light compared to “tantan noodles†specialty stores. It's sharp and savory, and the aroma is soft and melts in the mouth. All noodle dishes include
a small amount of cooked rice, so you can have a hearty meal. “Sobamaki,†where soba is rolled in seaweed and cut into pieces, is one of the popular side dishes. It's a combination similar to regular soba noodles, but keep in mind that the rich flavor of the soba noodles in one bite
and the cool, rich broth make it a good
side to eat between eating “tantan noodles.â€
