Tom Yum Chashumen Ramen (Japanese-Thai Fusion)
by Hon Aji Ramen, Bangkok, Thailand
Tom Yum Chashumen Ramen is a fusion dish that combines the flavors of Thai Tom Yum soup with the traditional Japanese Chashumen ramen.
Tom Yum Soup, one of the national dishes of Thailand, is made from a rich blend of aromatic herbs and spices that create its distinctive, flavorful profile. This iconic soup combines the freshness of lemongrass, the citrusy notes of kaffir lime leaves, the earthiness of galangal, and the heat of Thai bird’s eye chilies. These ingredients are simmered together to infuse a broth that forms the base of the soup.

In this dish, an herbal Tom Yum broth is served over a helping of Japanese chashu pork ramen noodles, creating a harmonious blend of Thai and Japanese culinary traditions. The fragrant broth, infused with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and Thai bird’s eye chilies, brings a zesty, spicy kick that complements the savory richness of the chashu pork.
Thinly cut Japanese chashu pork adds a deep umami flavor that melds beautifully with the tangy and aromatic Tom Yum broth. The ramen noodles provide a hearty base that soaks up the complex flavors of the broth, ensuring each bite is a burst of taste and texture.

Menu
I ordered a bowl of Tom Yum Chashumen Ramen noodles for 159 baht. It's a little expensive for Thai food, but reasonable for Japanese food in Thailand.
