In a heated pan, add 1-2 tbsp of shallot oil; sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add doubanjiang.

Once it’s brown, add the meat and stir-fry until it’s separated. Add all the seasoning for the meat and continue to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

4

Combine all ingredients for the broth in a measuring cup; transfer to a pot with ginger and scallions. Bring it to boil and set aside.

Prepare the noodles according to package instructions; this dish tastes best with chewy or firm texture.

In a serving bowl, add prepared broth with a pinch of grounded katsuobishi, sesame seeds, Ichimi, and shallot aroma oil. Toss in the noodles while it’s still hot to soak up all the flavor from the broth.

7

Add prepared toppings accordingly to your taste. Finish off with an egg yolk and chili oil on top.
