じゃじゃ麺 JaJaMen! (old post that I forgot to post)

It’s not an army of Rastas, nor is it the long lost cousin of Jar Jar binks. JaJaMen is a noodle dish that Iwate Prefecture got from china and (apparently) made better.

It’s basically JaJa  paste (miso based) with veggies on a bed of Udon.

Mix it all up, and graze! On a deliciousness scale of 1-10 I rate it OVER 9000… but it doesn’t end there…

When you are two thirds done, you send it back to the kitchen where they top it up with hot water, add egg and more paste. The resulting soup is even more delicious than it  was before! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I should have bought some JaJa paste to bring back to Gunma though. While the dish is amazing, the actual udon can’t hold a candle to Mizusawa Udon… Mixing the two might be the best food fusion since Nyancat!
