Chashu (Pork)

Chashu (Pork) is a Japanese-style braised pork commonly served as a topping for ramen and other noodle dishes; it's known for its tender texture and savory, slightly sweet glaze. Per 100 g it is relatively rich in fat, at about 33g of fat, which gives it its unctuous mouthfeel and flavor. Nutritionally it provides a good amount of high-quality protein and some minerals like selenium, but it is low in fiber and often contributes noticeable saturated fat and sodium to a meal, so it’s typically enjoyed as a flavorful garnish rather than a low‑fat protein source.
