Taiwan mazesoba is a Nagoya no broth ramen recipe that coats thick noodles with spicy minced pork, savory sauce, and bold toppings in about thirty minutes. This dish usually builds flavor with ground pork seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chili, miso, sesame oil, or doubanjiang, creating a rich topping with heat and deep umami. The noodles are tossed with a concentrated sauce instead of soup, so every strand becomes glossy and fully coated. Classic toppings such as green onion, chives, nori, fish powder, sesame seeds, garlic, chili oil, and egg yolk add aroma, texture, and extra richness. The final bowl is hearty, spicy, and satisfying, making it a practical homemade ramen-style dinner with Nagoya flavor, chewy noodles, and a powerful savory finish.

00:00Hi Mewtwo, today on Statue I'm going to show you how to make Taiwan Mothersoba, a spicy
00:05brothless ramen that actually comes from Nagoya in central Japan.
00:09Let's get straight to it.
00:11Start by heating the panel low and adding 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 thinly sliced red
00:18chilli, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and half a tablespoon of grated garlic.
00:24Mix those together and gently heat until fragrant.
00:27Once you can smell the aromas, increase the heat to medium and add 150 grams of ground
00:34pork.
00:34Stay frying until the meat is lightly browned.
00:38Ok, that's looking good, so now we're going to add 50ml of dashi stock, 1 and a half tablespoon
00:44of sake, half a tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of Chinese chilli bean paste called tobanjan,
00:51a sprinkling of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, and a pinch of Japanese sansho
00:58pepper.
01:00Mix everything together and simmer for about 5 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
01:07Taiwan Mothersoba is a dish that was created by accident using leftover ingredients from Taiwan
01:13Ramen.
01:13I also have a recipe for Taiwan Ramen on my channel if you're interested.
01:18Anyway, while we're waiting for the mince, let's start cooking the noodles.
01:22Bring a large pot of water to your rolling boil and add the noodles.
01:28I'm just going to check on the mince.
01:30As you can see, the liquid has pretty much disappeared, so I'll just turn off the heat
01:36and leave it on the stove to keep it warm until it's time to serve.
01:40Next we're going to make a simple sauce called tare.
01:43So take each bowl and add half a teaspoon of chicken stock powder, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce,
01:53and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
02:01Give it a quick mix.
02:03It doesn't matter if the stock powder isn't dissolved because the hot noodles are going
02:08to take care of that.
02:09I've drained my noodles, so I'm just going to place them on top of tare.
02:15Next we're going to add the toppings.
02:17So first, place the seasoned mince in the middle.
02:28Try to keep it flat and make a little dent in the center like this.
02:33I'll show you why later.
02:35Then we have some chopped garlic chives, which are another typical ingredient for Taiwan Ramen.
02:41Then some shredded nourished seaweed.
02:46Now I'm adding some bonito flakes, which add a smoky, slightly fishy flavor that is packed
02:53with umami.
02:54Next are some chopped green onions and tempura flakes for some added crunch.
03:03Add a pinch of chili threads and then place the yolk of a pasteurized egg in the center.
03:09You can see why I made that dent earlier.
03:13And that's it, spicy and flavorful Nagoya-style Taiwan Maze Soba.
03:18Now before you dig in, make sure you mix it thoroughly so that the noodles are coated in
03:22the tare and all the ingredients are well distributed.
03:26I know it ruins the presentation, but you need to mix well to fully enjoy this dish.
03:31Thanks so much for watching.
03:33If you want to learn more about Taiwan Maze Soba, there are 4 written recipes on my blog.

03:39Thanks again.
03:40Have a great day.
03:41Bye.
