This video is a part of a series of various types of Tsukemen recipes that I will feature.

Tsukemen (つけ麺), also known as Japanese Dipping Ramen Noodles, is one of the most popular styles of ramen in Japan, especially during summer. Cold ramen noodles are served with pipping hot soup, to be dipped and enjoyed with toppings. It is an amazing contrast to have both cold noodles and hot ramen soup broth together.

Kombusui Tsukemen (昆布水つけ麺) is a type of tsukemen which uses Kombusui (昆布水) which is kombu-based liquid, added to the noodles to add natural umami and keeps a moist texture to the noodles when eating. It is especially great for tsukemen where the noodles are even more flavourful when added to the broth. In my recipe, this tsukemen is matched with a chicken-base chintan (clear soup) and simple toppings to allow you to focus on the refreshing yet deep taste of this dish.

After finishing the noodles dipped in the highly concentrated ramen broth, it is always recommended to add more soup so that it is more palatable to drink and complete the meal feeling warm. This process is also known as Soup Wari. If you haven’t tried tsukemen before, please do and you will find this a wonderful experience.

As always, I did not use any MSG because I try to use various alternative ingredients to bring out the umami in my own recipes.
