Ghee Hiang 170th Year Noodles — A 10-Min Penang Heritage Recipe with Tanjong Sauce®
This year, Penang celebrates a remarkable milestone: Ghee Hiang, the beloved biscuit and pastry brand, marks its 170th anniversary with a Malaysia Book of Records recognition. That is 170 years of craftsmanship, tradition, and flavour — right here on our island.
To honour this legacy, we created something special: a 10-minute noodle dish that brings two Penang icons together on one plate — Ghee Hiang-inspired sesame notes and the tangy-umami punch of Tanjong Sauce®.
The Recipe: Heritage Sesame Noodles with Tanjong Sauce®
Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 5 minutes | Serves: 2
Ingredients
- 200g dried wheat noodles or fresh wantan mee
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame paste or tahini
- 1 tablespoon Tanjong Sauce®
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- To garnish: sliced cucumber, spring onions, toasted sesame seeds, crushed Ghee Hiang sesame biscuits (optional)
Method
- Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
- Make the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together sesame paste, Tanjong Sauce®, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and hot water until smooth and silky.
- Toss. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss until every strand is coated. The Tanjong Sauce® adds a gentle heat with nutmeg warmth that cuts through the richness of sesame beautifully.
- Garnish and serve. Top with cucumber ribbons, spring onions, sesame seeds, and crumbled Ghee Hiang biscuits for a heritage crunch.
Why This Works
Tanjong Sauce® brings something no other hot sauce can: that signature nutmeg note — warm, aromatic, and distinctly Penang. Against the nutty depth of sesame, it creates a layered flavour that feels both comforting and exciting. The gentle heat builds slowly without overwhelming the dish.
Ghee Hiang has been feeding Penang families since 1856. Tanjong Sauce® carries forward that same spirit of craftsmanship — small-batch, made in Penang, built on a family recipe. Two brands, 170 years apart, united by one island’s love for honest, delicious food.
