About this dish

Pork, shrimp, squid, and clams are stir-fried hard with cabbage and bean sprouts, then simmered with thick champon noodles in a chicken-based broth seasoned with oyster sauce and sake.

There is no chili; the flavor comes from the seared seafood and the sweetness of the vegetables. Kamaboko fish cake and shiitake round out a bowl that is mostly toppings. Serve as soon as the noodles have soaked up the broth and the cabbage still has some bite.

Instructions

5 steps
  1. 1

    Cut 80g pork and 80g squid into bite-size pieces.

    Cut 30g carrot, 100g cabbage, 30g kamaboko, and 3 shiitake mushrooms into easy-to-eat pieces, then blot 80g peeled shrimp, 80g cleaned clams, and 100g bean sprouts dry.

  2. 2

    Mix 400ml broth water, 2 teaspoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon chicken stock powder, 1 tablespoon sake, 0.5 tablespoon sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon salt for 1 minute, until the powder dissolves.

  3. 3

    Bring 2000ml noodle water to a boil and cook 2 packs Nagasaki champon noodles for the package time.

    Drain when the hard center has disappeared, taking care not to overcook because the noodles will simmer again in the broth.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a wok over high heat for 1 minute.

    Add the pork, shrimp, squid, and clams and stir-fry for 2 minutes. When the pork has no pink color and the shrimp is opaque, add the carrot, cabbage, kamaboko, bean sprouts, and shiitake and cook for 2 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixed broth into the wok and bring to a boil over high heat.

    Once the clams open, discard any that remain closed. Add the boiled champon noodles and simmer over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until the noodles absorb the broth and the cabbage is wilted but retains a slight bite, then serve immediately.

Tips

Drain the noodles as soon as the hard center disappears because they cook again in the broth and should remain springy.
Dry the meat and seafood and use a fully heated wok so they sear instead of steaming in released water.
