About The Recipe


Warm ProTEGO™ Noodles with Pork Belly (NIKU–ProTEGO™ Noodles) is a comforting creation by Watanuki Sensei from Tsuji Culinary Institute, specially crafted for The Food School Bangkok’s #waste2health showcase. Tender slices of pork belly are simmered in a savoury broth of dashi, soy, and mirin, then paired with soft, slurpable ProTEGO™ Noodles that soak up every note of umami richness.
