Shirunashi tantanmen · Hiroshima

Hiroshima's broth-free dan dan noodles: flat wheat noodles under chilli oil, Sichuan pepper, minced pork and spring onion, stirred hard at the table before the first mouthful.

Soupless dan dan noodles arrived in Hiroshima in the 2000s as a local reworking of the Sichuan dish, and the city now treats the broth-free version as its own. Shops grade both the chilli heat and the numbing Sichuan pepper separately, usually at no extra cost, and most add cumin and cinnamon to the spice blend. The convention is to stir the bowl thirty times before eating so the chilli oil coats every strand, then to order a small portion of rice at the end to finish what is left in the bowl.
