If you've ever visited Japan during summer or have experience eating at Japanese restaurants, you may already know about 冷やし中華 hiyashi chūka, the chilled Chinese cuisine-inspired noodle dish considered a staple of summer. More salad than soup, it has a sweet and savory sesame sauce with a colorful mix of veg and protein toppings like cucumbers, ham, and fried eggs, all sliced into thin strips.
However, as tasty as it is, it's not the only chilled noodle dish you can enjoy.
Born in Yamagata Prefecture in 1952, 冷やしラーメン (hiyashi rāmen | literally "chilled ramen") is another summer noodle favorite, popular not only in Yamagata but throughout Japan for its delicious and refreshing taste.
If you want to make it, you're in luck! おっくん Okkun, a ramen lover, shares his recipe on his YouTube Channel 『おっくんの宅飲みグルメ』 (okkun no taku-nomi gurume | "Okkun's drink-at-home tasty cuisine")
