Butter Ramen Club X Rising Sun Workshop
These Sydney favourites have created two limited-edition, super-rich and super-spicy tantanmen ramen.
Overview
Butter just keeps giving Sydneysiders more reasons to go absolutely crazy for it. The cult favourite is already a palace of fried chicken, sneakers and champagne. And you can add limited-edition ramen to that list, too.
Executive Chef Julian Cincotta has once again teamed up with Nick Smith of Newtown's super-popular Rising Sun Workshop for 2020. This year, the duo is taking it to the next level and creating two limited-edition tantanmen ramen (one for each venue).
At Butter, noodle fans will see the return of the fried chicken tantanmen — the rich, spicy ramen features a sesame chicken broth, hot and numbing ground chicken, fermented bamboo shoots, noodles, pickled wasabi leaf and marinated egg. Oh, and it's topped with Butter's fried chicken tenders.
Over at Rising Sun Workshop, you'll find the Glorious Flaming Pig tantanmen. Expect mix of aburi-flamed pork belly and rare-breed Berkshire pork mince (hot and numbing, of course) alongside a six-chilli rayu(Japanese chilli oil), pickled wasabi leaf and marinated egg — all in a pork bone broth.
These two dishes will be available for two weeks only, starting on Sunday, September 6.
You can find the fried chicken tantanmen at Butter's stores in Surry Hills and Parramatta and the Glorious Flaming Pig at Rising Sun Workshop in Newtown. Images: Sean Alcantara
