Tsukemen
Tsukemen[edit | edit source]
Tsukemen (Japanese: ___) is a type of Japanese noodle dish consisting of ramen noodles which are eaten after being dipped in a separate bowl of soup or broth. The dish is a variant of ramen and is known for its unique serving style where the noodles and broth are served separately.
History[edit | edit source]
Tsukemen was invented in the 1960s by Kazuo Yamagishi, the owner of the Taishoken ramen shop in Tokyo. Yamagishi's creation was initially called "special morisoba" and quickly gained popularity due to its refreshing taste and the ability to enjoy the noodles at a different temperature than the broth.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The preparation of tsukemen involves cooking the noodles separately and then cooling them down, often with cold water, to achieve a firm texture. The broth, which is typically richer and more concentrated than regular ramen broth, is served hot or at room temperature. Common ingredients for the broth include soy sauce, miso, pork bones, and fish stock.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Tsukemen can be found in various forms, with different types of noodles and broths. Some popular variations include:
- Hiyashi chuka - A cold noodle dish often served with a sesame miso sauce.
- Spicy tsukemen - Incorporates spicy elements into the broth for an added kick.
- Seafood tsukemen - Uses a broth made from seafood ingredients.
Eating Style[edit | edit source]
To eat tsukemen, diners typically pick up a portion of noodles with chopsticks, dip them into the broth, and then consume them. This method allows the diner to control the amount of broth and flavor with each bite.
