Capture the soul of the perfect noodle stall at home with our Umami Ban Mian Broth Base. This concentrated blend of premium dried seafood and dried shiitake mushrooms is designed to create that signature "sweet" and savory foundation essential for authentic handmade noodle dishes.
Forget instant seasoning powders—this pack uses whole, high-quality ingredients to deliver a clean, multi-dimensional broth that coats every strand of noodle with rich, natural flavor.
The Umami Trio:
Peeled Premium Ikan Bilis: We’ve done the heavy lifting for you. These anchovies are meticulously selected to ensure a sweet, robust sea flavor without any of the bitterness or "fishy" aftertaste.
Dried Scallops: These adds a luxurious, velvety depth to the soup, providing the natural glutamates that give the broth its long-lasting savory finish.
Dried Shiitake Mushrooms: Sourced for their intense aroma, these mushrooms provide an earthy counterpoint to the seafood, rounding out the profile with a hearty, savory punch.
Why Choose This Base?
Pure Ingredients: No fillers, no hidden maltodextrin, and no artificial enhancers. Just 100% real food.
High Protein & Mineral Rich: Naturally packed with calcium from the ikan bilis and vitamins from the shiitake.
Versatile Kitchen Staple: While perfected for Ban Mian, this also makes an incredible base for seafood congee, vegetable stir-fries, or even a quick miso soup alternative.
