Soba noodles are enjoyed through out the year in Japan.

This recipe is inspired by tantanmen ramen – a Japanese take on Sichuan dan dan noodles, with a broth made from soya milk and sesame – but it is by no means authentic. Typically this would have a proper stock as the base and be topped with minced (ground) pork, but I got attached to the idea of a ramen that could be knocked up quickly and that remained vegetarian/vegan. I also wanted to use udon noodles (again, untraditional), because I love their texture: big, fat, slippery, chewy – is there anything more satisfying?

Tofu works really well as a creamy sauce when blended. In this recipe, we add fresh basil to the sauce, which works really well.

If you have some leftover sauce, you can spread it on bread with a bit of olive oil.
