I tried 7-ELEVEN's Spicy Sesame Soy Milk Tangy Soup. Although there are no noodles in the soup, it has a satisfying texture reminiscent of tantanmen noodles with plenty of vegetables. It contains 165 kcal, 12.0g (0oz) protein, 8.7g (0.25oz) fat, 7.6g (0.21oz) sugar, and 4.1g (0.04oz) dietary fiber. 321.84 yen (tax included).

Spicy Sesame Soy Milk Soup

This creamy broth is rich in sesame seeds and mellow in soy milk, and is made with sweet soy sauce, ji-ma-jang (Chinese red bean paste), hua-jiao (Chinese pepper), and raayu (Chinese red chili oil). The ingredients include cabbage and bean sprouts, onions, pork, bamboo shoots, chives, and kikurage mushrooms.


Spoonfuls of cabbage and bean sprouts fill the mouth. It is softly cooked and hearty, while retaining a good crunchiness. The soup is rich and smooth with soy milk, sesame seeds, milk, and almonds, and you can enjoy the complex flavor of the pork and chicken extract mixed together.


Although there are no noodles in this dish, it is a satisfying meal reminiscent of tantanmen with lots of ingredients. I have the impression that one bowl of this dish is enough for lunch or a light dinner, even if you don't have anything else. It is also a nice dish to warm you up on a chilly day.
