High-protein

Built so that protein density is a design constraint rather than an accident of the dish. Usually means a structural element has been chosen for its protein as much as its behaviour, and the recipe says which one and what it displaced.

    Dan Dan Udon

    Hard-fried pork with bloomed dried chilli, garlic, ginger and pickled mustard greens over udon, bound in a blended silken tofu and sesame sauce that never touches heat. Around 60 g of protein per bowl, which is the reason the dish exists: the tofu does the structural job sesame paste alone would do, at a third of the fat. Built from a real pantry rather than an ideal one, so it departs from Chengdu practice in named and deliberate ways.
