Key spices

Intense exotic aroma of star anise and cinnamon、and thick、heavy depth of beef tallow

Substitutes at Japanese supermarkets

(Irreplaceable. Intense star anise aroma absent in JP cup noodles)

Pairing

Wanglaoji (Sweet tea) / Xiang Ba Lao Braised Egg (Topped with vacuum-packed black egg)

Trivia

Available in packets (Dai Zhuang) and cups (Tong Zhuang), piled massively in the most prominent spots of Asian stores. The included 'special paste' is beef tallow, so it's rock-hard in winter. Placing it on the lid to warm before adding dissolves it well into the soup.

Eating tips & etiquette

Japanese initially tend to avoid it saying 'the star anise smell is too strong', but living in China for a while makes you inexplicably crave this 'Red Devil' late at night.
