2 Tantanmen sauce: Grind the sesame seeds with Honteri, soy sauce, Oyster sauce, red miso, sake & miso.

3 Cauliflower mince: Grate or chop cauliflower finely. Chop shitake, spring onions, ginger & garlic. Pour sake over pork. If using tofu instead of pork, squeeze out excess water, before breaking it into a mince (no need for sake with tofu). Add oil to a pan, sauté ginger & garlic for 1 min. Add spring onion & Shitake, then cauliflower & pork or tofu. Cook for a few mins to cook pork, reduce heat, pour over tantanmen sauce. Remove from heat.

4 Noodles: Cook the noodles in boiling water for a few mins. Check pack for time. Strain & place in a bowl. Drizzle sesame oil over & mix well.

5 Serve: Add the cauliflower mince. Finish with toppings & garnishes. Enjoy!
