Tsukemen, a popular dish at many restaurants, can be easily made at home with this spicy dipping sauce. My husband always finishes two servings!
Recipe background: I adapted a recipe I found in a magazine to make it simpler and spicier to suit my taste.

Steps

1

Slice the green onion diagonally into 1/8-inch (2–3 mm) pieces. Cut the pork belly into 1-inch (2–3 cm) strips.
2

Heat a little vegetable oil (not listed in ingredients) in a pot. Sauté the green onion and pork belly until the pork changes color. Add the water and bring to a boil.
3

Once boiling, skim off any foam, then add the noodle soup base.
4

When it comes back to a boil, add the vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and shichimi togarashi to finish the dipping sauce.
5

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Serve the noodles either warm or chilled, and dip them into the hot dipping sauce to enjoy!
6

This sauce also goes well with udon noodles—I tried it and it was just as delicious as with ramen.
7

As of April 4, I also enjoyed this with somen noodles!
