About Chashu

Chashu is a savory Japanese delicacy traditionally served atop ramen or as a standalone dish. Originating from Chinese cuisine, its name derives from "char siu," a Cantonese barbecued pork preparation. Made from pork belly or pork shoulder, Chashu is slow-braised in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, sake, mirin, sugar, and aromatics like ginger and garlic, resulting in tender, melt-in-your-mouth slices with a slightly sweet and umami-rich profile. While rich in protein, Chashu is high in saturated fats and sodium due to its fatty cut and seasoning. Moderation is recommended for balanced diets. Nutritionally, pairing Chashu with ramen broth or vegetables can enhance both flavor and overall nutritional benefits, making it a satisfying yet indulgent addition to Japanese cuisine.
