Tomato Mala Tang

A dish made with plenty of fresh tomatoes, bringing out their refreshing acidity and umami. The vibrant spiciness of Chaotian chili peppers and the numbing sensation of Sichuan Han源 Sichuan peppercorns are balanced on a soy sauce base.

The flavors of pork and various vegetables overlap, creating a rich soup. It pairs perfectly with the springy noodles that have absorbed plenty of umami, allowing you to enjoy the deep flavors that spread within the spiciness.
