What is chicken chashu?

Chicken chashu is a Japanese dish made of thinly sliced, seasoned and slow-cooked chicken typically used as a topping for ramen noodles. It is similar to the more traditional pork chashu, but made with chicken instead. The chicken is typically marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic, ginger, and other seasonings before being slow-cooked until tender.

Chicken chashu is known for its savory and slightly sweet flavor, and it adds a delicious depth of flavor to ramen dishes. It can also be used as a topping for rice bowls or salads. Chicken chashu is a popular alternative for those who do not eat pork or prefer a leaner meat option.
