Mazesoba (or Mazemen) is a brothless ramen that originated in Nagoya. It is composed of thick chewy noodles, ground pork mixture, and a variety of toppings such as green onions, garlic chives, minced garlic, and egg yolk. This dry-style noodle doesn’t come with any broth, so the flavors rely heavily on the savory pork mixture and toppings.

“This was excellent! I had mazesoba for the first time at a restaurant on a trip recently and wanted to recreate it at home. So pleased with how it turned out and will definitely be making this again.” — Christine
