Think all ramen is the same? Meet tsukemen, a Japanese noodle dish where noodles and broth are served separately. You dip the noodles into a thick, flavorful broth, giving you full control over each bite. In Japan, it’s common, and even encouraged to slurp the noodles loudly, enhancing the flavor and showing appreciation for the meal.
What Makes It Special?
- Separate Bowls: Noodles and broth aren’t mixed.
- Thick, Flavorful Broth: Richer and more intense than regular ramen soup.
- Chewy Noodles: Often chilled or at room temperature for perfect texture.
- Toppings Galore: Chashu, nori, menma, and boiled eggs add layers of flavor.
