The Puchitto Udon Plus range steps up from the standard pods with a larger format that includes toppings as well as sauce, making it a more complete single-serve noodle solution. The Dan Dan Noodle variety brings the flavour of the classic Chinese sesame-based noodle dish to a home bowl of udon — a rich, nutty sauce built from sesame paste, sesame oil, and peanut paste, sharpened with vinegar, soy sauce, and doubanjiang chilli bean paste, and given its distinctive Sichuan character by ground Sichuan pepper (hua jiao). Granulated soy protein stands in for the traditional minced meat topping, and ground white sesame and almond add further nutty depth. It is a sauce that coats udon noodles well without any additional liquid — squeeze the pod over hot, drained noodles and toss until fully coated. The heat is present and building, with the numbing quality of the hua jiao sitting underneath the sesame richness. Three pods, three servings, each straightforward to prepare.
