These noodles are inspired by my very favourite Chili Goma Ramen from a local (amazing) ramen restaurant. I really needed a fix but I didn’t have any of my own 20-hour pork broth kicking around, or any fresh handmade noodles.
BUT!!! I did have an excessive amount of soba noodles in the pantry, loads of sesame paste, and there are at least four kinds of chili oil in my fridge at any given time.
So… this delicious bowl of noodles was born. And omg they are awesome!! Great fiery heat, perfect chewy texture from the soba and the sesame paste gives such a satisfying richness. They make me very happy.
Recipe-ish:
