champon — Nagasaki, Japan

Champon (ちゃんぽん, chanpon), also spelled chanpon, is a complete Japanese noodle dish typical of the Nagasaki region. Chinese-inspired, it is an example of Sino-Japanese cuisine that emerged during the Meiji period. The champon recipe needs only a single pan: pork, seafood, and vegetables are fried in lard, then a broth made from chicken and pork bones is added. A type of ramen noodle specific to this dish is then added and simmered in the mixture. Depending on the season and local tastes, the ingredients can vary. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q703286) and Wikipedia.
