Étapes

Prep everything first
Thinly slice the pork, pat the shrimp, squid and scallops completely dry, and chop the cabbage, julienne the carrot, and slice the onion and shiitake. Have everything cut and dry before you start, since the stir-fry moves fast once it begins.

The Story Behind the Dish
Champon was created in the Chinatown of Nagasaki, a port city that had traded with China for centuries and was home to a large community of Chinese students and workers. A Chinese restaurant owner is traditionally credited with inventing the dish as a cheap, filling, nourishing meal for students far from home, combining the Chinese stir-fry technique with Japanese noodles, broth and local seafood.
The result was something genuinely new: a one-bowl meal that belonged to neither cuisine alone, built from whatever good pork, seafood and vegetables were on hand that day. It quickly spread beyond the Chinese community and became a Nagasaki specialty eaten by everyone in the city.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Champon is beloved for being endlessly generous and warming: a single bowl delivers meat, seafood, vegetables and noodles together in a rich, milky broth, making it feel like a complete meal rather than just a soup.
💡 Fun Fact
The word "champon" is thought to come from a Chinese dialect term related to mixing or eating together, and in modern Japanese the word has gone on to mean mixing different things in general, from drinks to styles.
