Japanese Chili for Ramen Noodles?

Wednesday August 6, 2008
Someone is writing about a particular Japanese dish in Japanese Food Forum, but I can't think of the name of the dish. Can you help us? "I just returned home from a wonderful vacation in Japan...there is one dish in particular that I am very keen to learn how to make. I'm thinking of a rather small serving of some very threaded meat stew. Served as a sidedish or sprinkle for a bowl of Ramen soup with pork, egg and vegetables..." What do you think this is?

I am a Japanese. I happened to come across reading this a few days ago. I can’t understand the stew you said.
Sweet and hot and not unlike Mexican chili …
Isn’t it a Chinese or a Korean spice?

Usually, stew or soup would not be a sidedish for ramen.
And usually small serving soup is given with chinese food or chinese style food.
Miso soup is given to Japanese food.
I don’t know the restaurant you went….
It is very difficult.

I found.
The ramen you ate might have been found.
But I failed writing its URL here.
Search key words are as follows.
“kyusyujangara” or “kyusyu” or “jangara”

The URL includes “kyusyujangara”.
I think that ramen is one of the very famous one.
And you can find the URL easily.

I saw your two pictures and discoverd the trade mark of Jangara Ramen designs the UFO picture.
I think the soup you said is tsuke soup or “tsukechan”.
There are two kinds of ramen.
One is noodles and soup are served in the same bowl. And another is noodles and soup are
served in different bowls.
To make its soup is difficult because the recipe is secret.
I’ve never eaten its ramen. And I can’t go that ramen shop or ramen restaurant at once.
You said sweet and hot.
I think two spices are used at least.
Chinese hot : “Raryu” or Hot sesame oil
Korean sauce – sweet and hot : “Cotijan”

Of course the broth or “dashi” is very important.
